Defense against a hard handshake

  • Tell the opponent to stop.
    • A hard handshake does not constitute assault, so the use of violence is not authorized.
  • If the opponent does not stop once you’ve made it clear that they are hurting you, then they are acting out malice, and the use of violence is authorized.
  • Try to swing your hand to the inside. As the opponent resists, they will pull their hand outside. Duck under the opponent’s arm, step behind them, and apply a hammerlock.
