00:00:05.054 --> 00:00:07.189
- [Voiceover] Approach,
open your arms up wide

00:00:07.189 --> 00:00:09.986
like a proud eagle and then tilt your head

00:00:09.986 --> 00:00:12.464
in whichever direction
you feel comfortable,

00:00:12.464 --> 00:00:14.457
slightly raise your arm in the direction

00:00:14.457 --> 00:00:16.208
of your tilted head.

00:00:16.208 --> 00:00:18.567
This will indicate your
intention to your partner

00:00:18.567 --> 00:00:21.122
and prevent any head to head collisions.

00:00:21.122 --> 00:00:24.880
Finally glide in slowly and confidently.

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:26.726
The squeeze, maintaining your body

00:00:26.726 --> 00:00:28.410
in a semi-ridgid manner will indicate

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:31.527
to your friend that you are
in control of the embrace.

00:00:31.527 --> 00:00:34.069
Make sure your arms are
not like wet noodles

00:00:34.069 --> 00:00:37.773
but rather like the warm
branches of a firm oak.

00:00:37.773 --> 00:00:39.389
Turn your head out at this point

00:00:39.389 --> 00:00:41.636
and stare into the horizon.

00:00:41.636 --> 00:00:45.200
Turning your head inwards
can indicate sexual interest

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.358
only do this if this is
your given intention.

00:00:48.358 --> 00:00:50.216
The pat, the pat is the staple

00:00:50.216 --> 00:00:51.899
of any good man hug.

00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:55.521
This will deliniate this
cloth from just a regular hug.

00:00:55.521 --> 00:00:57.495
Now is your time to shine.

00:00:57.495 --> 00:00:59.794
Put your own creative spin on the pat.

00:00:59.794 --> 00:01:03.288
Do you like to use a fist or
an open handed karate chop?

00:01:03.288 --> 00:01:05.598
Whatever the gesture make sure it is firm,

00:01:05.598 --> 00:01:08.025
confident and filled with spirit.

00:01:08.025 --> 00:01:09.789
The break, the duration of the hug

00:01:09.789 --> 00:01:11.775
should be felt out situationally

00:01:11.775 --> 00:01:13.572
and the break should be done confidently

00:01:13.572 --> 00:01:15.513
as you made your approach.

00:01:15.513 --> 00:01:16.999
If you limp away at this moment

00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.507
then all of your hard work will be lost.

00:01:19.507 --> 00:01:20.935
The handshake-to-hug.

00:01:20.935 --> 00:01:22.801
Engage your friend with your dominant hand

00:01:22.801 --> 00:01:24.694
and deliver a firm handshake.

00:01:24.694 --> 00:01:28.165
Pull your friend close and
swing your elbow behind you.

00:01:28.165 --> 00:01:29.558
Open your opposite hand

00:01:29.558 --> 00:01:32.074
and then proceed through
the previous steps.

00:01:32.074 --> 00:01:33.792
Make sure to keep the hand throughout

00:01:33.792 --> 00:01:35.083
the hug duration.

00:01:35.083 --> 00:01:37.194
(upbeat music)
