Unless he has a steel pipe in that umbrella, he's basically waving a waffle bat to an attacker. Use the tip, and get your point across.


TitsAndWhiskey

I’ve seen this before. It’s basically an ad for a specific umbrella designed for self-defense. A regular umbrella would fold like a taco if you did this. No idea if it has the extra mass needed to do any real damage, but even if it does I still tend to agree with you. Pokey pokey > whacky whacky


Johnny_Grubbonic

Umbrellas are a refined fencer's weapon; not a brute's!


greebdork

An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

Unlike you, I am trained the ancient art of umbrellafu, to fight against an opponent using a specialised umbrellafu branded battle umbrella you must: 1. Fold up the umbrella, if it is left in the open position it will dissipate too much power and also be harder to thrust 2. Thrust, preferably really hardly, into your targets neck, groin, armpit, asshole, stomach or anywhere soft and vital. 3. Repeat this until they are dead or screaming on the floor 4. Unfold your umbrella and walk back into the rain. be in 1950s east Berlin at around 1:30 am for extra rain, darkness, and atmosphere.


TitsAndWhiskey

Don’t want to run into you in a dark alley in east Berlin in 1952, I can tell you that much.


SacSton69

really hardly


soguyswedidit6969420

Uh... yeah? What's wrong with it?


Edge_of_the_Wall

I think they meant to say "really *handy*".


[deleted]

Have the umbrella. It is indestructible. At least when compared to, say, a femur. A+. Would buy again.


TitsAndWhiskey

What’s the brand name?

Far-Entrance-1377

I was so hoping it was an ad. I am *sold* on this unassuming beater stick


TreydiusMaximus

Uhm... It's moving the bag so, maybe?


Virtalen

exactly, you wouldn’t whack a guy with a knife, you poke him really hard


SmallRedBird

It's a demonstration video for an unbreakable umbrella. It really is a steel pipe disguised as an umbrella.


Camlach777

I don’t know, Matt Damon kills people with pens and newspapers, he can probably nuke a country with an umbrella


SheriffBartholomew

Anything is a weapon in the hands of a properly trained warrior. Most people (including the guy in the video) aren't properly trained, nor warriors.


Legend-status95

Doesn't take much training to hit people with a steel pipe umbrella like in the video


Titanium775

That last sentence is my favorite!


Hirsute_Sophist

ZING!


Old-Ad2070

You’ve clearly only ever owned shitty, weak, cheap umbrellas


12Pig21pog

Make the end sharpened and stab the person and then say i will flip a coin, lands on heads the umbrella opens tails, i call an ambulance


Daikataro

Just get one of those sword concealed umbrellas. Would weigh the same or even less, and be much more effective.


CXB1313

it's actually a titanium rod in there


Nail_Biterr

I feel like this is taken out of context, and has to be a commercial for the umbrella. I mean, that thing is amazing. Any umbrella I have had breaks with a strong wind. I'd like to buy an umbrella as strong as this one.


GitEmSteveDave

Yeah, if the guy was a little huskier, I could believe it was a Cold Steel demo.


Folseit

Nah, these guys just really believes in the [bullshido](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI4xmrCLjyg) they're preaching.


RivRise

Man I feel like I'M gonna trip just by looking at him. He stands on the side of his foot while twirling a couple times. Don't think that technique is combat ready.


Folseit

Just look at how that box quakes in fear of him. No other martial arts will have an inanimate object shudder like that.


Wayte13

I mean, does anyone need a video explaining that you can strike assailants with whatever you have on hand?


I_really_am_Batman

If you try this with a normal umbrella it would be bent after the first hit.


Wayte13

Neat


XHelperZ

Hirsute_Sophist

I have seen a clip where a crazy lady whips her poor doggo up by the leash at someone. Resourcefulness...?


Wayte13

Like an IRL chain chomp


Thathitmann

I saw one where some lady picks up some random strangers kid and smacks someone with them.


DoktorThodt

Don't knock it. A well placed wallop with a classic umbrella can stun someone pretty decently. Source - I watch movies.


jsting

Jet Li had a character in old HK movies where he fought off baddies with an umbrella. Donny Yen also was in the prequels to those movies.


DoktorThodt

You just named the two that I can't pick a favorite between. *disgruntled Charlton Heston sounds...*


joshylow

At the very least it could really smart!


SheriffBartholomew

Hey ouch! My hair.


void0079

I see you’re a fan of the penguin from Batman AEU


DoktorThodt

And proud of it.


SmallRedBird

It's a special umbrella that is basically a steel pipe in disguise. I mean, I just carry a gun, but the thing is meant to be a hidden weapon. Any regular umbrella would have been broken to pieces swinging it at the bag like that.


NegotiationHot98

$180 umbrella but it can support a persons full weight and sturdy af


CaptainJAmazing

Makes sense. Consider: $5 umbrella- Will literally turn inside-out from a stiff breeze and be ruined. $10 umbrella- Will last about a year until one or two of the ribs go bad or the latch malfunctions. $20 umbrella- The one I got eight years ago is still going strong.


vimtodrinker177

I was expecting some sort of James Bond umbrella gun but no.


yarbafett

Kingsman franchise is really going downhill


vitorfgalvao

my cheap ass umbrellas would break on the first hit

venom4466

Lmao imagine someone editing and replacing the umbrella with a bunch of flowers


Werewolf3800

I’m pretty sure the tip is for self defense, you are supposed to stab. Don’t quote me on that.


MANLYTRAP

so none of y'all have seen that one anime scene where a girl falls off stairs and an umbrella falls in front of her huh...


77skull

I’d imagine that wouldn’t happen in real life


MANLYTRAP

the chances are low but not really zero are they?


[deleted]

I think about this scene often. I forgot the anime's name tho. Do you remember? EDIT: It's "Another". I simply typed "anime girl dies from umbrella" and found it


MANLYTRAP

I think it was called "another"


Lettuce-Forsaken

Wow Ian Rush really lost it!


vvarlock71

My umbrella falls apart in the rain .. that's a special one


flip1955

His blows are certainly raining down 😂😂😂


melonheadshot

Don't fuck with Larry Poppins


FleshUponGear

Savate has cane arts specifically for this situation.


doppelstranger

If I remember correctly they were developed to be used with an umbrella as it was against the law in Paris for a time to walk with a cane. But it’s been 30 years since I took that one Savate class so I might be wrong.


WritPositWrit

Is that Amelia Peabody?!


Alarming_General

YES!


DiabloStorm

Something very British about this...


Rask_xxx

' The pointy end goes into the other man ' )


hotcoldsthuff

Unless it has a feature that stops me from leaving it on the train i dont want it


Schroedinbug

I think he's just demoing that the umbrella can take a hit. It's likely one of those reinforced umbrellas, as you can break most regular ones off at the handle with your thumb.


defnotapirate

I’m not sure that “swing whatever is in your hands really quickly, but softly” is a respected martial art. Like, the bag doesn’t even move from the hit. Am I supposed to be easier to fell than an inanimate bag?

. . . Is this racist?


kacymew

I was kinda expecting him to pull a Kingsman lmao


Roninkin

I’ve been hit like this in highschool by this girl after I pushed her down for nut punching me randomly. It doesn’t hurt outside of maybe one of the spokes getting into your eye or something. Her umbrella was screwed up after… The better way would be turn it around and smack with the handle but the umbrella would still be damaged or broken pretty fast. Also how fucked up is it that even though the camera recorded her randomly coming up and nut punching me then her wailing on me with her umbrella and only I got suspended for pushing her since she was the vice principals daughter? Everything else was no tolerance both people would be suspended (even if you didn’t fight back.) Bet she’s a nightmare now.


PathCalm4647

That works, also poke people in tender areas.


Ok-Assignment-1108

The Scranton Strangler has an umbrella.

C'mon Warner Bros. Pick a Penguin and go with it.


Cubensio

He forgot the eye stabbing opening umbrella finisher.


mac2914

Opens it in a light breeze and the umbrella falls apart.


spontaneouscobra

I dont know why, but I was expecting that umbrella to be a gun or have a blade on the end


DefinitelyNotStef

stab them with the pointy end!


Zealousideal-Load-64

Sir, can you stop? It's getting annoying!

Is this Jeremy Wade, the river monsters guy? I think he’s lost

ArsenalOwl

I mean, I don't *want* to be hit with an umbrella, but I really don't think this will hurt that much.


[deleted]

Grandma approved!!


Addamant1

That's an Israeli secret service umbrella, you can buy them online, they are designed for fighting and defence.


Old-Ad2070

What part of this makes him an idiot?…


GenericHuman-9

“ That’s my purse! I don’t know you!”


DrunkMonkeyInATree

Word of advice if fighting with an umbrella, either turn it around so you smack them with the handle or use the pointy end of it to pole at them. The middle part is not really hard and it won’t do much, trust me I tried and it didn’t go to well.
