- If you live in a country or state/province that heavily restricts what you can legally carry for personal protection then this could be a good alternative. You can even parry a sword with it. :)

#self-defense #umbrella #test - Zábava
I need this. Forget about self-defense, I just want an umbrella that won't break when I toss it around.
Why would you want to toss it around? Its an umbrella
Why wouldn't you want a quality, durable piece of equipment with multiple roles?
When I arrive to my apartment I can't be bothered to find a place for it so I just throw it wherever, then it would get in the way when I need to do something in the place I threw it so I throw it somewhere else. This pattern continues until I the thing breaks. Also, I don't have a car and my umbrellas always end up bent after wrestling my way out of the subway car.
henrikoldcorn companies used to make things to last 100 years, you could pass your tools on for generations, with some maintenance. Now, they sell you an umbrella made of something slightly sturdier than aluminum foil and it gets all bent up within 3 usage times. Made to break and re buy
Find an umbrella with a wooden core. I bought mine from a hardware store. it lasted me 4 years until the time I carelessly tossed it while open. bent 3 of the steel spokes that keep it open. it still worked for a few months until the center ring broke. 8/10 will buy again. :'(
Used that thing as a cane in dry seasons and as an umbrella on extra sunny days or rainy days.

I prefer to carry a beach umbrella since I'm level 90 at 2 handed
King Peter my strength skill is not high enough for a beach umbrella. I dual wield pocket umbrellas instead.😂
I use umbrella hats, my light armour is 72
I throw the cocktail ones since I specked into agility and ranged weapons
I unhook the end so that it launches when I open it. Level 56 in Illusion, level 17 in destruction magic
King Peter legendary skins, I'm assuming? Perhaps pearlescent purple under a translucent candy apple red with gold tassels?
"Oi, you! Stop right there! I need to see your umbrella loicence, sir!"
"Maybe it's an assault umbrella mate? Who knows, have to be suspicious nowadays mate!"
@@Seelenschmiede Isnt there a law in Victoria that prevents you from carrying tools that can be used as weapons unless you have a good reason to carry it?

5. Profit.

@Rose Treiger true that.
@Rose Treiger r/woooosh
@Rose Treiger Definitely missed the joke there, bud.
Rose Treiger the joke went WAY over your head
And there's the pommel
Half umbrelling seems to be a viable technique here
That's my favorite one among all other Fiore's two handed umbrellasmanship techniques :)
Unscrew the top spike and throw it with the might of Zeus
This self defence umbrella is a useless gimmick. Try as hard as you like to make it seem viable is a pointless endeavour. Self defence moves are fake bullshit. The attacker just gives up after the initial attack and goes with the victims' moves. The truth of the matter is the attacker will use their hands to block any attack, grab the umbrella and beat the crap out of you for the aggravation. The only thing to do is to get the hell out of that situation as quickly as possible. Pepper spray will always be the best choice because it requires no physical strength or technique to incapacitate the other person
@@tomatodamashi Hey bud. I get that you are a "master self deffence expert" but you missed some points in your little lesson here.
A) People in many European countries cant carry mace or pepper spray. So thanks, teach.
B) The umbrella isnt promoting you to go out on the streets and beat the shit out of anyone who looks at you. Its made to be an umbrella that is strong enough to deter an attacker if you are threatened and cant run.
C) Did you watch Skall's video? For anything more then 30 seconds?
D) Do you even know what you are talking about? Like at all?
@@sebastianriz4703 Did you design this umbrella or something? Because you are taking it really personal.
So what if pepper spray is not available, it doesn't take away from what I said. It IS the best self defense tool because it doesn't require any technique or physical strength to use, and it can be used from a distance.
I never said I was a "master self defense expert", but I know enough about fighting that I know most self defense experts are full of shit. They teach moves to build a false sense of confidence that can get their students in real trouble.
IF you even have this umbrella with you when an assault occurs, as I said, most people (even trained ones) will be so shocked and scared by the assault that there is no way they are going to use this stupid umbrella to defend themselves. Any weapon, including pepper spray, will most likely be used against you in an assault. People with a weapon are going to mistakenly think that it can protect them, when the best option is always to remove yourself from the situation. Standing your ground, more often than not, is a really stupid decision. Weapons and self defense training gives the person a false bravado and confidence that won't reflect reality. Watch any self defense video, the guy does one move (like grabbing the neck) and then pauses in that position to give the woman time to do her moves. If that doesn't scream bullshit, then you're either delusional or lying to yourself because there is no way a real attacker is going to be so accommodating.
I've explained myself thoroughly twice now. I have nothing more to say to someone so passive-aggressive who gets so insulting to a perfect stranger who doesn't like a gimmicky umbrella. Bye.
Hey skall my grandfather got attacked about 20 years ago by a thief and all he has on him as defence was an umbrella. He Actually decided to defend himself and the umbrella opened up and actually helped him massively. The Thief was trying to get into his pocket to grab something likely a knife, but the umbrella opened up, suprised him and my grandfather pinned it up against his chest so it hindered the guys arm from reaching his pocket. Thankfully some passers by helped him and the Thief was arrested and charged. He is a ww2 veteran too and actually remembered some of his melee training that also may have saved his life.
Imagine if you could control when it opened and closed, manually.
@@andrewsilver7048 o_O
@@mysss29 Pretty sure he meant it as controlling it with a single button on the handle, since while opening is mostly with a button closing it requires you to manually operate the actual umbrella part. Would be really useful outside of a fight as well, you wouldn't get wet trying to close the damn thing.
Another way it helps is that the attacker have a way harder time to reach you and be precise in general. Dealing with that can be enough of a pain to be deemed unworthy to continue and attract more attention in general wich, as you said, lead to more people getting involved and higher risks of arrest
Your grandfather rolled a nat 20 lmao
I'll feel super confident next time I'm attacked on the street by a thug with a broadsword :)
Heck, didn't knew the mangs watched this channel's content.
Screw the Mani Kati! Lyn wouldn't have needed Wrath if she had this umbrella!
As long as you use it as a spear, you get the triangle bonus ! :)
Mangs you think you can stand up to batta the beast?! *lyn crits with tactical umbrella*
Take a second to remind yourself, that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
When youtube demonetizes you so much you got to talk about umbrellas.
Meanwhile at youtube HQ
"Guys this guy is using a umbrella as a weapon!"
*Hand slowly approaches big red demonetize button*
Umbrella on a hot day = portable shade. I do it all the time
Me too
That's exactly right.
SUNbrella, as I call it
Fun fact: in Victoria, Australia, you CAN in fact be prosecuted (technically, anyway) for carrying around an umbrella, if there's no reasonable chance of rain. The relevant law refers to "dangerous articles", which are not any specific, categorised weapons/tools, but rather anything that could plausibly be used as a dangerous weapon. More or less, you need to be able to justify why you have it on you if questioned by police ("in case it rains" probably wouldn't pass muster in the middle of Australian summer). "Self defence" or any other answer which implies intent to use as a weapon can get you prosecuted.
This is the same law that prohibits people from carrying around gardening implements, sticks, hammers, crowbars, etc. "just in case". Strangely enough, battle axes, warhammer, etc. also fall under this law, because they're not on any of the more regulated "weapon" lists.
is this Sean from unimelb? It doesn't surprise me you watch Skallagrim 😂
Sean O'Farrell just use it as a parasol... case closed ;)
@ProfPepper58 Gotta be honest, I really didn't expect to be recognised by someone in a CZcams comment section :P
Sounds legit, although I dare say it would not be especially pleasant. AFAIK, parasols are designed to reflect heat, and are often quite thin and porous so as to let air and (reduced) light through. This looks like it would practically boil the skin off your hand after 30 minutes under the sun in 40+ C weather.
@@LordSoulSicarious Yeah, you'd want to replace the fabric for that.
Come tell me, Sean O'Farrell...
here before the kingsman and pommel jokes appear
Im sorry to say that i checked and you were not fast enough.
John Steed is who I think of when it comes to Umbrella-Fu
Kingsman?
I was actually expecting RWBY jokes. There's this character. She's mute, she's a villain, wields an umbrella that has a spear tip, and she's universally loved.
Or Rachel Alucard
Or Neopolitan
It makes perfect sense carrying an umbrella during hot summer days since it can double as a parasol.
I totally agree. I carry a umbrella virtually with me everywhere. It is great to keep off rain, and snow keeping you dry, and sunlight keeping you cool. I carry a black one as the darker the color of the fabric the greater the protection from solar rays.
A SUNbrella.. is what I say
Weapons are like dildos. Anything can be one if you're brave enough.
Some are totally useless though :D Imagine using a tomato as a weapon. You can use it once and if you dont deal some damage to their eyes with it you are donezo :D
Dark Voice, I dunno, suffocating them with a tomato down the throat so they couldn't breathe would be both fucked up and an appropriate method of murder by tomato (that and beating the shit out of someone with tinned tomatoes)

Ilkka Palander totally loving the idea! Maybe rebuild his umbrella shooter?
An replace the pommel with something much more dangerous, ha ha ha ha!
Ilkka Palander you mean: a bigger pommel from metal?
At least! But knowing how Jörg thinks, he would probably add razor blades or at least sharpened pencils! :D
I would say the single most important thing to protect yourself from Attack is awareness.
You could be armed with any weapon in the world, and if you're not aware of your surroundings you would still be Easy Pickins for an assailant.
If they have light colored fabric, women can carry as parasol in Summer with little suspicion.
Johnny J. Men too. I'm 1,95m high and a quite massiv manly beardy man and carry one as parasol because I'm very sensitive to heat. Friends of mine do it too because they get easylie sunburned. So why only women?
Thanks for the info! The reason is my past exposure: In East Asia mostly women wear to not get tanned (or husbands/S.O.'s carry for their women). In US, I almost never see non-Asians using parasols.
I think not many men use it because of that whole "macho" no weakness thing, though melanoma knows no gender or ethnics. Same w/ few healthy ppl carry canes when in the past gentlemen carry canes and pocketknives.
because men will usually just wear a hat to deal with sun damage or nothing if they're stoopit.
then again a man could just carry a cane, if the cops question you you just tell them that your knee hurts and you need it to climb stairs or make something else up.
@@windhelmguard5295 cops won't question you about canes. People just won't be bothered to carry one or don't want people asking about it
an open umbrella is actually useful unless they have a gun. Heck even then. Because it blinds them and represents a barrier they have to get past. You can stab like a spear while they are trying to get past it, regardless of their method. Also it will cause a greater commotion and you are more likely to be noticed by other people.
REALLY Great product! I just tested the same one a week ago :) Awesome Re-View Skall!

It was a few years ago, not checked what they cost now. Was a small can though, 10cm tall and 3 cm wide.
Just checked amazon, and they sell it for 7 us dollar.

"I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!"
Marry Poppins dropkick umbrella finish. With a pommel throw follow up.
8/10. Should have a separate unscrewable pommel.
Pommel jokes aside, this one actually should. A nice steel ball on the end would give it more cred in my eyes too.
Vytas don't try to pretend that you're thinking practically here, this is the internet- join us, or your seriousness shall be ended rightly!
The steel ball could destract the attacker, probably irritating him and might leave an opening to escape the situation. But the art of throwing a pommel should be thought to make it work. Half serious. The ambrella would need an instructor or a manual with a pommel function on the umbrella.
It needs a spring-loaded pommel and a spring to open the umbrella. The only downside is that you'd forget which button is which and end your not-yet-conceived children rightly.
@@ApothecaryTerry It needs a spring-loaded pommel and a spring to open the umbrella. The only downside is that you'd forget which button is which and end your not-yet-conceived children rightly.
Nr. 1 rule in selfdefense:
Raise awareness to the fact that you are attacked! Scream for help, scream that they have to stop attacking you. So everybody around knows whats up and knows who is the attacked so nobody can get confused by the plain sight of somebody hitting another person.
And if you attack, always go for the vulnerable parts: groin, face; if you are trained a bit or strong enough, add in knees, ellbows, hands.
Seelenschmiede Some experienced attackers already do this, falsely, to get bystanders to get the guilt backwards, instantly or as potential trial witnesses!
Don't forget the liver
Sounds like someone read a bit about martial arts but hasn't done much fighting. You get in a serious fight and tell me how accurate your aimed shots to the knees elbows and hands were.
Vytas I'm a kendoka and freestyle ringer since nearly 20 years and do self defence training for girls and women in our club. And I got in many fights on the street because of me helping other people. My "shots" are pretty accurate...

you don't. Just put on a hat. XD
@@WardancerHB Then what if "You don't need to wear a hat?"
Well, getting wet in the rain isn't a threat to your life. So, it would be an inappropriate use of force to carry anything to defend yourself from the rain. Leftist "logic" knows no bounds. They can convince themselves that anything makes sense.
Also let's not forget about those self defense hats that have the bbs in it (probably works I guess? but so silly) we must be afraid of those too lol oh and we can't forget those peeky blinders (TV show) and their razors "hidden" in their hats
lol genius xD
During the late Victorian era there was a martial art/self defense practice for gentlemen based around the use of canes and umbrellas as weapons. I can see it making a comeback with things like this using modern materials like carbon fiber.
I've been thinking of picking up bartitsu, but I don't wanna be around the steampunk people who are learning it to be antiquated when I'm trying to learn something useful from history.
Carbon fibre is a rubbish weapon material mate, it's light and brittle
Well, yes, it's almost certainly the wrong material choice for this application. I was using it as an example of advances in material science that people are generally familiar with, but I think you're correct in your assessment.
@@zeekeno823 Google the walking stick method of self defense by H. G. Lang. Bartitsu didn't create it's own methods of cane fighting, it incorporated ideas already common at the time. Most surviving Bartitsu references are from era news articles, or brief pamphlets designed to draw customers to Barton-Wrights gym, and are incomplete. Lang's treatise was prepared for use by colonial police in India, and is probably a better reference. Also Google Louis Leboucher. French cane fighter from the same period.

That moment when you realise you're gonna get murdered by an epic viking-steampunk guy holding an umbrella with a pommel.
As a thrusting weapon an umbrella, even a weak one, is actually pretty effective... In skilled hands. The regular ones are no good for blocking or parrying, but it'll extend your reach by quite a bit. I carry a Blunt (brand) umbrella myself, which had a steel shaft that runs all the way into the end of the grip and vinyl ribs. Mine is meant to weather hurricane level winds, hence the flexible ribs, but it also has quite the heft to it, without being burdensome. That said, I live in Japan, in small town and in a nice neighborhood, so I'm not actually worried about people. There's a higher chance of being attacked by a feral cat or rabid goose than a person. I only bought a durable umbrella 'cause I suck at using umbrellas. Xp
If anyone has seen Another, they'll know how deadly umbrellas can be
Yeah I know
"lady snow blood" ( manga + live action don't think it has an anime or i would have seen it ) she has a pretty good umbrella for self defence ...not exactly a horror like another but pretty dark and bloody and worth a watch
I could totally justify carrying around a battle axe in Australia.
"Pest control. Have you even seen the spiders in this country?"
Johannes Kiehl thanks i have seen another its a good anime as are sheki and elfin lied if you like horror ,,,,, i was referring to lady snow blood not having an anime as it is a manga and live action movie .. and would be a good anime ( female assassin / revenge killer who has a sword hidden in her umbrella ) its a good movie :)

Those are _much_ more expensive...
Pay more than a dollar for it.
I'm glad to see overconfidence addressed. it makes me cringe every time i see someone thinking that a dozen (insert martial art) lessons or a gadget will make them unassailable. it helps but you still need strength, conviction and alertness. lacking even one of those things may make you utterly incapable of sufficiently defending yourself.
This reminds me of a bad memory from when I was in middle school. This guy was pesturing me at the bus stop saying gross pervy shit, and I had an umbrella. After getting irrationally angry, I started hitting him with the umbrella (while it was open) and it didn’t hurt him in the slightest (cheap umbrella and twelve year old girl arms). I still think about it when I try to sleep and it keeps me up 😩
Not hurting an attacker in the slightest is a common nightmare of mine :(.
Not surprising if you hit him with an open umbrella. Should have closed it.
Ali exactly, I was so stupidly mad I didn’t think to close it
@@morose1434 well you made it out okay I assume so I guess it worked out in a certain way.
Try not to let stuff like that keep you up. You made it out ok and now you know what to do better in the future if you need to. Try and take it as experience than a bad moment in your past. I went through some horrible stuff when i was younger too.
Haaa! Extra large knob... I'm an adult I swear
no your not. none of us are really TBH...
The B-roll of the demonstration with Emily was really cool, somebody should illustrate that into a modern day treatise on how to use the umbrella for self defense
Mr Steed would be proud!
The only truly sophisticated weapon for today's modern man is an umbrella.
In countries where you Can be held accountable for the injuries you cause to the person who assaults you, it's probably a good thing it doesn't really harm that easily and it IS better than a handgun that way. So you also quickly dismissed the open position, is there no way to use it for défense? I guess opening it in front of someone's face would probably surprise them, but i wonder whether it could help you keep space between you and your opponent or if it was simply too easy to pull away if open. I think it may be a helpful thing to carry and I'm Glad you took the time to talk about it seriously
I went and looked at this simply because I keep wrecking umbrellas. I figure one I can use as a weapon is probably sturdy enough that I won't wreck it.
Excellent content! Informative, practical, fun, and it's always great to hear your opinion at length.
I’ve using my walking cane as a self defense weapon for many years.
In general i habe Theo types:
The light types for everyday use, in a fight I would use the for disarming enemies and maybe for thrusting but only as a last measure.
The heavy types of my canes is what is says “heavy”
Currently I own only one because it’s to exhausting to use it every day bea cause it’s made from ebony wood with a massive sterling silver handle...
in addition to my technics with the light one, beating is an real option for this type and because of its weight it’s a pretty effective weapon!
As an example if you have a cane or umbrella with some sort of hook an the handle you can use it like this;
Grab the cane near the lower end, get with the handle between the legs of your opponent, hook into the back of one of its knees an simply pull.
Your opponent will go down immediately and it will be an really unpleasant an painful experience.
Carrying such a thing with me is no problem because I need canes because of an disability anyway. Because of that, running away is no option for me so it’s better ne know how to use what I have with me.
But in general the best way to win a fight is to avoid them anyway!
With an umbrella, I'd just focus on thrusts.
I can imagine this being a verry effective tool when focusing on the face or neck of your attacker. Quite some force will be put throught a small surface area when connecting with someone. At the very least it will be very painfull but also damaging when hitting an eye, teeth, nose or weaker part of the eye socket.
You're on the money mate
Yes:
a thrust to the ribs would hurt massively.
a thrust just below the ribs may hit something important.
a thrust to the crotch can double a person over
Just imagining people watching him filming himself go berserk on a fake head with an umbrella haha
Love this umbrella. I have the model with the hook handle. The high quality materials and sturdy construction hold up to the strongest winds when you actually need it as an umbrella as well!!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I am planning on moving to Japan in the future, and the weapon laws there are very strict. This means that my favorite tool and edc knives need to stay in the US. With this product, I feel a bit more prepared. Especially their rubber cap accessory that turns it into a support item/cane too.
Dang, you beat me to it! Great review as always Skal.
Really good video. I really appreciate the section about avoiding conflict.
Canes function in the same way, as a self-defense weapon that is an everyday item
Imagine you could shoot the top part of the umbrella at the attacker and have it open up automatically to block their vision, that would then give you enough time to run away and safe yourself
I have had a regular umbrella with a similar design for years, and, well, I've swung it around thinking how it might be used for self-defense if I absolutely had to. Also wondered how it might stand up to such use, and how it might be made better. Glad to hear there are like-minded folks out there already providing this for sale! =D
I'd give you a second like if I could, for emphasizing de-escalation as the primary method of dealing with a fight and for reminding of the danger of over-confidence.
Seems like a really plausible tool. Thanks for the review Skall!
Nice video
Can you now make a video on how I can defend myself against fruits?
If you're in Asia, thrown durians are like AC/20 shells, stay away from the attacker.
Just drop the 100 Ton weight on those attackers. Say "Alexa this is so sad, play "Self Defence against fresh fruits"
What? Were you expecting some outdated martial arts?
Just release the tiger
Just eat the fruit bro

"If i can grab it that means it's a weapon"
~any character jackie chan played
Skall! Bad luck! You opened it indoors!
I live in Florida so having an umbrella is essential here most seasons, especially summer.
And an umbrella that won't easily fall apart? hell yea!
Whenever you get randomly attacked with an arming sword, it's good to know you'll be able to block a strike with this umbrella.
It might be hard to catch, maybe, but it would not be hard to block. Or to pull from the person if they use it to wrench or push.
Maybe. Depends. I think if you are a much worse fighter, the umbrella isn't going to tip the balance. If you are equal it will probably give you an edge.
Vytas it will. Just saying, not a very good strategy to push with it.
I remember an anime I watched a long time ago, it was called Another. There was an episode with an umbrella, it opened my eyes to the dangers of the Umbrella. Also great video dude.

If they sold this as a regular umbrella or a just claimed it was an 'unbreakable' umbrella, they could sell it without any problems and you could carry it anywhere. Because the manufacturer sells it as a defense product and it is not clearly identifiable as a weapon just by looking at it, it is classified as a 'hidden weapon'.

Anyone knows or remember that umbrella scene in that anime Another?
That scene still haunts me and this video just makes it worse, thanks.
But can you suddenly open the umbrella in front of the attacker, and when they are wondering what the hell you are doing, open fire??
No Spandau attached 5/10- IGN
And remember: "overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"
Disturbed shirt, you skall, got my respect even further ♡♥
Adam celadin just had a video on his channel abaut that umbrella and a krav maga instructor who showed how to use it properly
Please do more zombie smashing.. It's very pleasant to watch hahaha
Even without any martial arts intended, an umbrella facilitates no-shadow kick/punch and is a thrusting weapon.
"the danger is over-confidence"... "prevent it from happening". I knew a guy who lived in a remote cabin. There were bears there. He said he was never afraid of bears when he was unarmed because he knew he would body-language/behavior himself out of the situation (and had). When he carried a gun, he was constantly aware he would stupidly use it and then shit would hit the fan (not in his favor).
Now thats an interesting video,you got the right idea!
I was searching for something like this for use as an actual resistant umbrella. Unfortunately, the spokes and slider appear to be a regular grade construction and the footage has shown it turning upward like a dish... Yes, sturdy core is great, but still is lacking...
Yeah. Upgraded mechanisms/ fabric would be necessary for the umbrella itself to be more resilient to the blows/ momentum it would experience in a melee situation, while this is designed as more of a standard utilitarian umbrella around what boils down to a fiberglass rod/ club. Doable and (probably) marketable, but that'd be an increase in price with a smaller market...
BoojumFed The market would be _larger_, adding all the people dissatisfied with flimsy umbrellas destroyed by the very weather that they are supposed to fight. It also ads to the legal justification for carrying their product instead of a normal umbrella.
Higher quality umbrellas exist now, they're just pricier; leading to fewer people willing to/ capable of buying them (reduced market). Same deal with any product, really.
Germany: concealed weapons are illegal.
I think that's what they would say...
PS: you can kill someone with a regular umbrella, if you stab into the eye socket, the temple, ear or neck
Paul Gallico - The Adventures of Hiram Holliday. "An umbrella in the hands of a skilled swordsman is as deadly as a sword." Or words to that effect. As you say, the umbrella is pretty much the only defensive weapon many of us are allowed.

That’s bad

Heh this is great for my Asian Aunt or relative, they can carry it on a sunny day without looking weird
Sending this to my friend who got one of these. Also, I wonder how well it can work with a one handed swing from right shoulder down to left hip, striking the collarbone. With the right biomechanics, it should multiply force quite a bit, if Kali is any indication.
Any kind of decent swing to the collarbone should be an incapacitating strike for sure. Even if you miss and hit the shoulder, they're not using that arm in a hurry. 600 grams of weight and the force of a swing focused onto a small metal rod is quite something.
I expect that that's going to depend more on the percentage of the force that is absorbed by the flex of the fiberglass vs. amount transferred during the strike than the raw strength/ technique of the swinger. A weaker person with a firmer quarterstaff will break more bones than a stronger person with a more flexible one. Not that I'd volunteer to for target practice of either of them, mind you...
It's more the two arms that are going to be in the way that will prevent the collarbone strike
That's two arms though that aren't striking you!
Another possible application: Swinging at the knee cap?

I can't wait for the umbrella martial art video for this one
Needs a hooked handle so you could go all Bartitsu on them
At least, a disk at the bottom end of the handle would be good.
It would increase the PSI of a hit and also work a bit as a hook to force an arm away.
Flashlight self-defense. Do it
I would prefer this with a cane grip.
You can't hook the knob into your bookbag or backpack, so you have to hold it or tie it on you. A cane grip can easily be placed in any loop and removed quickly.
It would also look more like a normal umbrella.
Wow that is a very durable umbrella.
I would buy it, for practical purposes.
A weapon that doesn't attract undue attention from the authorities, neat.
Just put a bit of fabric on a good old baseball bat... Maybe a wedding dress...
@@theblackbaron4119 that's a good idea but i would rather use a steel pipe (hollow or not) painted black with a fake handle
@@karvast5726 what is that supposed to resemble:" My blind guiding dog harness broke off and I'm running around with the handle?"
@@theblackbaron4119 the fake handle and the fabric around it obviously.so it looks like a umbrella
@@karvast5726 nah, it would look weird on sunny days. A baseball bat with a wedding dress on the other hand would keep people far away from you , because who wants to fuck with a guy that runs around with a baseball bat in a wedding dress. Works on sunny days aswell, unlike your steel pipe "umbrella"
Why not a simple wooden walking cane? Very cheap and just as, if not more, effective? It also can be carried anywhere.
Jerry Collins canes look like a weapon more than an umbrella
So? I carry mine everywhere I go including US federal buildings with no problems. Since it is wood it can be ran through the X-ray and comes out fine, metal detector is also not a problem. Its look may actually be an asset to deter an attack.
In other countries, the likeness to weapons is a significant factor. What you're suggesting is "if given opportunity for a better weapon, why not a better weapon?" That's kinda the point, sometimes the better weapon just isn't available.
No, I am suggesting using a perfectly legal thing, a walking cane, as a defensive weapon.
Ok, why are you using a walking cane? Do you have trouble walking? Were you carrying it with the intent to use it for self defense? If the later, that's illegal in some places. How much like a weapon does that cane look like? That's completely subjective to the authorities in question. That'll also affect legality. I could go on, but you get the idea. Not everywhere is the U.S. and a lot of places have very strict laws concerning "weapons" whether or not they are conventional weapons.
As an addendum, A cane can and will inflict more damage, which in some countries will come back to bite you with a vengeance. The amount that you harm your attacker is also a factor.
The general issue I personally have with those kind of items is that they are likely used by people who are untrained in martial arts or self defence. People who are not trained in that might swing in awkwardly or not put enough strength behind the swing and in that case there is a high chance of the umbrella becoming ineffective even if it is an effective tool when used right.
The bass when you swing it is glorious xD
One question what is it like having a mind? I have been told to find mind, but I do not think I had one to began with.
how about shotgun umblrella from Ratatouille
I've done it, with a regular umbrella. Single stage telescoping (It basically collapsed to half length) crooked handle, normal tube steel. However, it was essentially reinforced by having the main tube doubled. I got a couple decent strikes before it bent, I hurt him. 2 handed camp-axe style overhand striking. No joint lock, hooking, fancy spins, basically just like a short cane. It was better than being unarmed, I had better reach, so defensively I was able to dance around (Out in the open) where I could hit him, and he couldn't hit me. I carried it to defend myself against Rain. I used it (With a knife clipped to my pocket, but I had the umbrella in my hand) I broke it, and I won the fight.
Escalation, it could lead to the attacker becoming more aggressive... He's attacking you, what kind of becoming more aggressive is going to change the engagement? He could pull another weapon: So could I, I had a Kerambit (Emerson Wave) clipped to my pocket. I didn't need it. You defend yourself. Weapons are tools you use, and anything can be used as a weapon. Cracking them in the skull doesn't have to incapacitate him. It just has to hurt. I think you really discounted the Reach. Defensively, Reach is fight winning. It's ultimately what scared him off, I told him "I can hit you," hit him, "And you can't hit me." Grabbing an umbrella doesn't really do much of anything.
I've also fought off a bear with a Shovel. I wouldn't suggest carrying a Shovel to protect yourself against Bears. (I highly reccomend the Emerson Wave for self Defense.) However, when the bear shows up, you grab what you can to not get killed.
great video man, next level upgrade qualified
