Self-Defense with Unbreakable Umbrella

[golitely7]

i love my polish secret agent umbrella i take it everywhere best dam thing since the dog!

[JacksterLark]

This fighting isnt really realistic. I take mixed martial arts and in knife self defense you do not want to move in close because even if you gain control of somebodys hand it is very easy for them to twist their wrist and cut you. Stick fighting is the opposit because it can not cut you

[duran3d]

Do you recommend straight or curved handle for umbrella self-defense?

[ThomasKurz]

@duran3d

I recommend whichever one you find comfortable.

[SketchTerner]

prompt please name master , which shows technics ?

What it for school?

This school has a site?

[mlndstream]

Wouldn't the most effective technique with the umbrella be to just run them through like using a spear?

Also,which type of unbreakable umbrella is best for self defence, the crooked handle or the knobbed handle?

Also,is the Jo staff the closest weapon from which to adapt techniques for the umbrella?

Also,what instruction books/dvd's do you recommend from which to learn pure selfdefence techniques for the unbreakable umbrella?

Thank you for any answers:)

[dercssfreak2]

the umbrella of victory :D nice self defense ! 5*

[johnnymean1]

I just picked up one of these for walking around the 2010 Olympics hassle free.

Using the umbrella in an open position shields my polymer knife (attached above handle)when coming into play. Surprise for the surprise attacker!

[zelcon01]

What Martial Art is this?

[Okaruwazashi]

I wouldn't call this self-defence to be honest. These are not basic techniques at all.

[edarion01]

@Okaruwazashi

this is Bartitsu

[Mananandata]

Excellent!

[DGCFS]

GREAT TECHNIQUES very Nice

[TheOlivaaaaaa]

woo :D

[66DarthSidious]

I used to just carry around a regular umbrella with a pointed spike....I am deffinatley getting one of these....I'm not going to get arrested for the nightstick I usually carry in my pocket

[80KungFu]

You carry a weapon too? Times have really gotten ugly and violence, mugging and rape is a common thing. In the past people saw it cowardly and wrong to kill someone, carry a knife, raping, mugging, several on one, kicking etc But in these days they are all everyday things we need to watch out for. I was thinking about night stick too, is it easy to counsel?

[Okaruwazashi]

Actually rates of violence are going down on average globally.

Perhaps it looks more violent now because non-violence doesn't get in the news.

[WatchRyder]

@Okaruwazashi

no they aren't, less people are bothering to report it. They are dealing with themselves or shrugging their shoulders...

[WereZombieNL]

i wil never leave my house without my umbrella again

[jeloopa]

This guy is a grappler and he's thinking like a grappler, that's to say, he wants to use it like a lever. I daresay that the most effective way to use this would be more like a spear. There's also a fair number of cane fighting and stick fighting techniques which would likely be quite natural with one of these.

[Okaruwazashi]

You're right. You should know striking and grappling, as well as tactics for various situations, regardless of the weapon.

[unsheepled]

WOW...cool!

[KJlost]

Useful item to be sure, since it is pretty inconspicuous and easy to look over. But the techniques used in the clip will take a LOT of practice to be of any use, which is worrisome. If it's just going to be used as a clubbing device, I'm just worried that it would not deliver enough impact as a weapon. Better than unarmed certainly, but could it actually serve to disarm the bad guys?

That said, I still want it.

[SketchTerner]

What name at the instructor,In a white kimono ?

[eweiskarim]

i hate this language! :@

[onimano]

slow-mo please

[Fallowt]

The guy is real badass. I built a defense umbrella in high school. I took one of the push-button expanding umbrellas and sharpened the ends of the spokes, so you could jab with it while it was closed. The handle and other half of the stem separated from that and released 3 feet of bike inner speedometer cable that could whip through 1/4" tree branches. And it still worked as an umbrella! Never had to use it, but it would have messed somebody up.

[Merlyn1978]

That poor guy with the knife took such a beating. "Ok, I need a volunteer...you..."

"Again? But my insurance won't cover it anymore."

[stratman06]

Straight out of a Bond film :D

[l2a3sterling]

@stratman06

The techniques are not "bondable"

[8dahar1]

Cool. Is this the same company that makes the unbreakable automatic handgun?

[piosta18]

Cieszy mnie, ze widze wideo po polsku!

[GetMeThere1]

The umbrella is superb. But I'm not a fan of the fancy "arm-lock" techniques; they're very difficult to carry out in a realistic situation.

Instead, a firm jab in the face with the tip of that umbrella is going to end any attack--and the risk of putting an eye out is justified if someone is attacking with a knife, etc.

[njreader101]

I agree about the arm lock techniques. They are probably good to know in case an opportunity to use one comes up. But they should not be the first line of defense. If one tries one and misses, that could be what decides the fight, especially if a knife is involved.

John Perkins ,Attackproof/Ki Chuan Do, just came out with a weapons defense series, including cane vs. knife. He is a big advocate of the approach that all techniques must work reliably in the worst of circumstances or be discarded.

[seriousquality]

@GetMeThere1

Hitting the face of someone can cause YOU serious troubles, i would rather hit the arm/hand, and tip in the stomach

[cyclotrode13x]

very nice, where can I get one?

[ThomasKurz]

Look up and to the right. See the URL?

[cyclotrode13x]

duh. I realized that after I posted the comment. a little over enthusiastic. thank you though.

[wrght9185]

Very interesting video. I'd heard of this umbrella before, but never seen it in action. Thanks for uploading this.

[blackpoolrok]

I missed most of this looking at the ultra sexy guy he was dragging around the floor.... sign me up for this class immediately.

[DoBo777]

Polska górą !!!

[saffronix]

Where can I get an umbrella like that?

Is that the new brand of umbrella they call the "Kalashnikov" umbrella, made by the same Company that makes the AK-47?

[hamigakisan]

that's awesome. got this link from a thread about the Philippine president getting those umbrellas for her secret service.

Wish I could see a full speed demonstration.

[whitechun1]

Where is this class taking place?

[ThomasKurz]

Warsaw, Poland

[pawellost]

Hello Thomas,

could you be more specific about this place? I've tried to google it but couldn't get any info. I'm very much interested in it. Thanks!

[ThomasKurz]
