Why Unbreakable® Umbrella for self-defense rather than a Kubotan keychain or a tactical pen?
Why have I decided to produce Unbreakable® Umbrellas for Never-Thought-of-It LLC rather than Kubotan-like keychains or tactical pens? Here are my reasons:
1. An umbrella is longer than a Kubotan or a pen, so you can hit your attacker from a greater distance. (In defense, distance is your friend, at least in the first clash.)
2. Unlike either a Kubotan or a pen, the Unbreakable® Umbrella can be used as a large blunt weapon that doesn’t require precise targeting.
3. When necessary, an opened Unbreakable® Umbrella can be put in the assailant’s path as an obstacle.
4. The Unbreakable® Umbrella can protect you from rain or sun and serve you as a cane too.
A good people from Arkhangelsk Hapkido Federation show a couple of good examples for the above points.
But then they show some silly stunts, way too silly, like this:
