  • That's REALLY FRIGGIN' COOL! My only concern though is the structural integrity of the umbrella. In my experience they aren't exactly sturdy pieces of gear, so wouldn't they fall apart after being used like this only once?

  • @Wild1990Child, yes that is exactly the problem. Like all weapons (and that includes our bodies), we have to channel the force through the tool and not into it or else things get damaged (the umbrella, tendons, ligaments, etc). There are tricks, like reinforcing the point as I showed in the vid, but the real secret is learning how to channel your force. It's not easy at all, and things break very easily.

  • @Wild1990Child there exists an umbrella that is designed for self-defence. Its pretty expensive, but very sturdy. It can support man's weight, jumping up and down.

  • I ever hated umbrella, now no more : )

  • WOW double WOw Im a fan:)

  • quite amazing^^

    remind me to never ever rob a gent who owns an umbrella;)

  • LOL, it should be that way, shouldn't it?

  • Looks fun, but also good swordsmanship too! (One of these two would be enough for me. So i'm turning yellow, or is it green, with my envy.)

    The idea of umbrella is not suprising. Mair had even something about scythe. (I don't know what it is exactly like, scythepart's pictures in book did not look actual techniques for me. And I am not a man of language.)

  • Thanks. Mair's section on farming weapons is very interesting. You can't really judge the scythe techniques by the pictures...or any of the techniques in both volumes by the pictures, often enough. In the written part are usually several steps of move, countermove, and counter-countermove. They are quite complex sequences of action and counteraction, and from the pictures you can glean very little at times.

  • I have got that much. :) So I'm not doing research in the subject or claiming anything, which I haven't learn from someone else. (So I preciate anyone who can. I know that I don't know, and have slight idea how hard it actually is...)

  • Ahhh lol !! VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!

  • Glad you liked it. You know, the Filipino secret service have special combat version umbrellas made up for them out of high resistance plastic. Interesting, isn't it?

  • I love the content, but the font is a bit hard to read at times. A non-Italic font would be faster to read.

    The music and the content is fantastic, and I like the description a lot.

  • Thank you for the comment. The constructive criticism is much appreciated! Cheers.

  • Yes, it is difficult at times. I put the text of the video at the end of the video description to the right of this page, if that helps. Thanks!

  • Nice :D

  • Ahah: bellissimo!|
