Outlines
๐ค Introduction to Homey Handshakes
This introduction emphasizes the importance of handshakes in making first impressions. It suggests that if you're tired of standard handshakes and want to learn more dynamic, cooler variations, this video will guide you. The video features VideoJug's resident player, 2J R, demonstrating how to give a 'foamy' handshake with his friend Colleen Headley.
๐งโ๐คโ๐ง Practicing with a Friend
Step 1 focuses on finding a 'homeboy' or friend to practice with. 2J R will teach his handshake moves to his friend Colleen Headley. This step is about preparing to learn and practice the new handshake variations.
โ Not Your Average Handshake
This step clarifies that the tutorial is not for those looking to learn a traditional handshake. Instead, itโs aimed at those who want to impress friends or fit in socially with a more relaxed, informal handshake style. It's not suitable for formal settings unless you're a rap star.
๐ The Basic Homey Handshake
The basic handshake is broken down into three moves: 1) Start with a regular handshake, 2) Rotate your hand to clap the other person's thumb, and 3) Slide your palms away and snap fingertips apart. Practice is key to making these moves smooth and fluid.
๐ The Tickle Handshake
This variation involves the first two moves of the basic handshake. Instead of snapping fingertips apart, you clasp the thumb and wiggle your fingers against your friend's, giving a tickling sensation. This adds a playful element to the handshake.
โ The Touch Handshake
The touch handshake starts with the basic moves but ends differently. You form a fist at the end and tap fists with your friend, reminiscent of the 'one potato, two potato' game. Finally, you bump fists together to complete the handshake.
โก The Power Ranger Handshake
This complex handshake starts with the basic moves. Afterward, you bend your arms with elbows outwards and touch elbows, grasp each otherโs thumbs, raise your joint hands to the sky, separate them, and finish with your fists in the air. This move evokes a sense of power and force.
๐จ Create Your Own Handshake
The final step encourages creativity. After learning the provided handshakes, you and your friend can create a personalized handshake that suits your style. However, be cautious as unfamiliar handshakes might look foolish if not executed well, as demonstrated by Colleen.
