The Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Columbus decided to make a video showing how to defend against the Donald Trump handshake.

The black belt in the video explains, “As I’m scrolling through my Facebook feed, I see this video and it hits me — I’ve got to teach the defense to the Donald Trump handshake.” He suggests going with the “pull-in” and maneuvering into a wrist lock.
