!?!?!?
Hi I was wondering why my hands shake when I do muay thai. It started to shake about two weeks after I started muay thai. Is it because of muay thai or I'm to stress from school? I don't know, can you guys give me some reasons why my hands shake? Because I really want to learn muay thai or boxing again, thanks.

i had this happen to me a few times but its mainly only for a lil after a work out, i was told its from the muscle being so worked that it actually makes alot of twitching motion. I dont have it happen anymore but the first day i trained i had it happen and it was wierd. Possibly could be what it was? -
Man, for me I always shake after training. I mean, all of it is a rush for me, so I have to come down after the training, especially if it is a sparring session.
My adrenaline flows, even just working the bag......................Comment

Its natural! I get that especially after boxing training (im in both thai and western boxing). I like it though and end up laughing bout it... especially on the drive home, changing gears
lol
Make sure yer hands are well wrapped during punching workouts though!Comment

A couple of reasons, Bob.Originally posted by Bob
The act of keeping your hands up in a fight stance tests the endurance of your shoulders and lat muscles at first. Since you've never done this before, your muscles are a little strained. It may suck, but the act of keeping your hands up the proper way, makes alot of upper body targets harder to hit and increases your defense.
Keep that chin tucked too.
Also holding the thai pads staticlly tests your arm endurance and shoulder strength as well. On top of that, you compensate the pads a little when someone throws a kick so that little push back at the last second is probably tough on your shoulders and your arms.
Last but not least, if you aren't used to seeing kicks or punches come at you its natural to be a bit nervous, especially if you're sparring for the first time. This could make your hands twitch, i suppose. Once you get used to it, you should be relaxed enough to tell jokes (ideally jesting your opponent) while sparring and still keep up good intensity, awareness...
Take a warm shower, stretch those arms well before and after a workout. The jittering should go away after a few weeks. Keep on working.Comment

I still have that problem after rolling with Gis on. After all the grabbing and such, my fingers are like crack addicts.Comment

Ahhh..
Of course there is an easy solution to this problem.
It is caused by not enough sex (with yourself of course).
The next symptom that will appear is hair growing on the palm of your hands.
Best of luck to you, as this is usually a fatal condition.
Ohh you poor bastard.Comment

I Disagree With Normal
I think you obviously must be a politician.Comment

Actually, Normal would never make a politician...he is a wacked out nut with more hair on his palms than his ass, errr, uh...head.....yea that's it, more on his palms than his head. Ahh, Hell...they are both the same thing, right NOrmal??
ON a serious note, been training muay Thai since around '91, but more steady and serious since '99. I have trained, fought, taught, and never never had my hands shake from any workouts, whether it was conditioning, sparring, grappling or whatever. Now, either I am unique or totally different...since all of you say it is a natural thing and will go away in a few weeks. Honestly, I would guess you are lacking in the nutrition department. Get your meals balanced and a good multi vitamin, oh..and quit smoking the crack...and it will stop. Do you down a bunch of coffee throughout the day? OR a bunch of Mountain Dew? Caffiene is known for making a person shake after workouts.
food for thought.
Oh, and Normal....ya need to get out the razor and shave those palms buddy. Don't forget to get in between the fingers too

ok, it's one of two things...fatigue, or you're body needs electrolytes.
Or...you're out of shape and the exercise causes some sort of hypertension problem...do you also feel out of breath, or get tingling in your arms??? Drink more gatorade, work out more, and steadier, not just explosive stuff, but light cardio and such...and yes, laying off the crack, as all these witty twits suggest, are all good ideas.Comment

I don't do drugs, and I don't drink pop/caffiene often. I don't know, I've been doing muay thai for about 4 months and it shakes even worst, now I've quit my hand seem to shake but not that rapidly..Comment
