If the point of capturing the motion is to dramatize the subject, then it ought to be done unambiguously, so that it the dramatic intention will be clear to the viewer, and the blur, not to be mistaken for an artifact of the conditions and the camera. I guess that the picture tries to express the motion without losing the hands that moved. I recommend letting the hands get lost in a blur. Here, paradoxically, a blur would actually clarify the action, rather than obscuring it.
