please subscribe to my youtube video channel, or favourite it or something. Please Spread the word, forward this to friends and practice with the peeps.The African Handshake as demonstrated in the video is used often in greetings, introductions and good-byes, sometimes for entire conversations.
Handshakes are common between genders, mostly using the ‘African handshake’, consisting of the standard western grip, followed by a loose gripping of each others thumbs by the fingers, and then reverting back to a western grip.
Handshakes are usually soft, though it has slowly adapted to the traditionally firmer western grip (excluding the ‘wet fish’ handshake), which gives most people the woobly woo’s.
Handshakes between good friends can last for minutes and often the whole conversation, and sometimes as you continue walking down the road.
