Abstract: A padded double-strap hand wrapping apparatus and method of wrapping the hands prevents injury to the knuckle, hand, and wrist areas, resulting in a supportive and protective hand wrap which can be used in conjunction with boxing and bag gloves. The hand wrapping apparatus is operable along a wrapping path by wrapping the knuckles inside a resilient wrap body having a padded insert fabricated from a deformably resilient material. The fingers are inserted inside a correspondingly sized finger retention members that couple to the upper end of the wrap body. A left and right strap, connected at their proximal ends to the wrap body, are wrapped at a desired tautness to achieve a compression against the hand. The straps form an orthogonal relationship that reinforces the wrapping around the wrist, knuckles, and wrap body. Left and right strap fasteners securely fasten the corresponding strap after wrapping around the hand.
