theirs

After coming across many different interesting handshakes, we couldn't help but want to teach the class some sort of gang affiliated gesture. Apart from that, we thought it was also important for the class to know how to do a perfect handshake for when the time comes.

So remember...
*Be conscious of your grip. Make sure you do not squeeze to hard as to say, “I am better and stronger than you are”. Make sure not to extend a limp hand as to say, “I am weak and beneath you”. What you want to be saying is, “You can trust me with your children.”
