Old English High Fives

So the first high five that we are going to get into is the traditional high five, otherwise known as the Old English. I'm pretty sure when I was studying high fives abroad, if I remember correctly the first instance of the high five, the little hand is sure that the first instance of the high five was in the cave man days. The day they invented a wheel, was the day they did the first high five. But its grossly overshadowed by the invention of the wheel. The traditional high five is very basic, its just a one handed to one handed, meet in the middle sort of high five. You have to be very mindful of the cupping of the hand.
