I have the shaky hand problem too. I would get them after we did these very intense hand target drills in class, which involves punching targets high power for a long time. We usually do these for a couple of weeks after every testing (2 months). The first time we did this drill 3 days in a row and my hands shoke for almost a week. My instructor said that I probably needed more protein. Now I drink about 15-20g of whey protein before I train and that seems to help a bit.

At my school 13 to 14 year olds is the starting age with the adults class. All of them that move up seem to do fine and can keep up with everyone. I personally started in the adult class when I was 13. I am 15 now I would not like it if I had to train the kids class. I like the challenge of training with people that are bigger and stronger than I am.

My TKD school offers grappling also. My instructor just started a class a few months ago that is once a week and is just grappling based on Jujitsu. As for the poll, I originally started TSD as a young kid for fun, then when we moved my mom actually told me that I should continue martial arts after I move out for college. That would have been another 8 years! About a year and a half after I stopped training I saw an ad for a Taekwondo school and I realized how much I missed training and joined the school. I don't know what I would do now without it.

Hi! My name is Shannon and I'm 15 years old. I did Tang Soo Do for a couple of years starting when I was nine, got to 2nd gup, but we moved and Tang Soo Do was not offered where I live. I now am very involved in ATA Taekwondo. I recieved my black belt 6 months ago now and am a member of my school's Leadership and Demo Team. I LOVE the martial arts!
