The Unbreakable Umbrella works just as well as a walking stick or cane
but does not make you look funny or feel awkward. Whacks just as strong as a steel pipe
but it weighs only 1 lb. and 11 oz. (775 g).
- Legal to carry everywhere
- Never raises suspicions
- Does not make you look silly (no strange looks if carried by an
able-bodied person)
Do you know how to swing a baseball bat? Do you know how to strike with
a sturdy stick? If you do, you know all you need to know...
“As a Defensive Tactics Instructor and one who works with law
enforcement and military personnel, I am usually quite critical of `self-defense fads.'
However, I don't feel this product falls into that category. I think it would make for a
very viable self-defense adjunct in someone's arsenal. It is a very innocuous utilitarian
object that most people would not look twice at. That is, until they felt it's
capabilities first hand.” —Mike McGuire, Edmonton, Alberta

clinch and throws, from defenses against grabs and holds to defenses against punches and
kicks are fantastic. Methodology and explanation, simplicity and practical approach is
what I like about this tape.

highly value your tape. I decided to include your basic idea into our training. It is an

"Self-Defense: Tools of Attack shows
practice drills of an experienced street fighter. In many confrontations his techniques
have never failed him. He shows what is real and how to practice with common street
weapons. Observe him to learn the correct techniques and the training drills with a club,
hatchet, blackjack, knife, and razor.
"The demonstrator spent most of his youth in East Europe's toughest
correctional institutions—including a special prison where inmates were rehabilitated by
systematic beatings and starvation. Afterwards he collected debts, settled scores, and
provided personal protection in some of the worst neighborhoods of Eastern Europe. Through
all the bloody fights he stayed unbeaten, in “one piece,” thanks to his rational
technique and the intensity of his simple drills.This video shows the simple moves and
simple drills that kept him winning every time.
“This an effective, deadly system of combat that should make the rest
of fighting arts nervous.
“A shining example of creativity, ingenuity, skill, precision
targeting and power. Rarely have I seen such efficient use of body mechanics or such
mastery with common weapons. G. S. is truly a master. This hard hitting, street style of
self-defense is real eye-opener to even those who have trained for many years.”
—Terrance Rasmuson, 6th Dan JuJitsu, 4th Dan Tenshi Goju Karate,
