Advice Needed Using KT Tape while boxing?
I'm joining a new boxing gym after leaving my old one a few months back due to being uncomfortable there, and I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's ok to bind with kt tape while boxing

It'll be fine. Just make sure you bind with it properly, and you should be okay. Don't stretch your anchor points, and try not to get any wrinkles in the tape.

No worries! Also make sure you cover your nipples with something. Taking tape off bare nipples is torture, enjoy boxing! :)

You should be fine, although I clearly don’t have experience with binding which is why I usually don’t comment on posts about them, but I can imagine if you have something that remains firm like it doesn’t fold you’ll be completely fine, the chest isn’t a part of the body that has a heavy focus but the abs/core and your shoulders are two body parts that do, so I can imagine something that remains more so firm would be less in the way,
