This is the best thing I learned to do that works pretty good after you work on it. Lay him in your lap like a baby sitting in between your legs and say relax or calm in a soothing voice until they stop fighting you and just hold them there and eventually he will stop wiggling and just give up and relax. Do this randomly throughout the day until he fights less and less. What you're teaching him is to trust you. I learned that in obedience class and it works wonders. If he wants something and starts freaking out. I pick him up and say relax and he just calms down almost immediately.
