Fuji Television Network (Japan) plans to feature the Unbreakable Umbrella in its upcoming program called WORLD'S NEWS. The program features amazing people, events and products from all over the world. It will air in September.
Our Unbreakable Umbrella featured on Thrillist.
Our Unbreakable Umbrella was shown in Japan on Nippon Television Network. See it here.
Our video Basic Instincts of Self-Defense: Defenses Against Unarmed Attacks is available on DVD now.
The Unbreakable Umbrella works just as well as a walking stick or cane but does not attract attention. It whacks just as strong as a steel pipe but it weighs only -1 lb. 11.4 oz. (775 g).
Legal to carry everywhere
Never raises suspicions
Does not make you look silly
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

What Others Say About Our Videos:
—Self-Defense for Women
“Your selection of techniques and graded advancement from armlocks to
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.
“My experience in some other systems gives me the possibility to highly value your
tape. I decided to include your basic idea into our training. It is an excellent link
between Aikido techniques and practical self-defense.”
—Ragib Karamehmedovic, Aikido (goshin) instructor, Sarajevo, Bosnia

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, Edmonton, Alberta
