Defend Yourself Against Attack!

Our streets and public parks can be very dangerous. Mugging, rape, stabbing or baby theft. It seems to be getting worse!

But we are not allowed to carry a weapon to defend ourselves.

But the Mugger or Rapist is out there, ready and waiting. For who?

Me? YOU?

In your home, it's different. If you found an intruder in your bedroom you would be fully entitled to use appropriate force. Leaflets are available from police stations giving full information about your rights in such a situation.

But on the street or in the park, it's different: what can you do?

I recommend you carry an umbrella. It is not a legally prohibited "weapon" like a knife or gun. Sunny or wet, no matter what the weather it is never "wrong" to carry it. Sunshade or rain guard, especially as a walking stick - it is never out of place.

Particularly importantly, a young man can carry one perfectly legally. He does not need a knife or gun to defend himself. The umbrella is a very effective and dangerous spear. Powerful and devastating. Easily able to cope with a knife - if you have studied and practised it.

Amagasa-jutsu is a newly developed martial art detailing ways of surviving a street confrontation using your umbrella. Giving you a chance of staying alive, un-broken and un-stabbed. Quickly and relatively easily learnt even by the ordinary, non-aggressive elderly man and woman.

Apart from sun, rain and walking stick use, its main function is as a spear. That is, thrusting into the attacker. Target - eye, throat.

You must make absolutely sure to get a strong model. If it is flimsy, it wil break and leave you defenceless in your emergency. I myself use the Unbreakable Umbrella, powerful, very strong and quite apart from its 'spear-like' function, it is able to really smash into a leg or face - after the initial thrust to target.

Don't buy down to a low price. That could be your death! Buy 'up' for reliability and strength.

But like me, you may be weaker than you were twenty years ago. You may be unfit and elderly. Overweight, out of training. So how could you batter a fit vigorous mugger senseless? Of course, you cannot.

I recommend the Amagasa-jutsu technique termed the Billiard Thrust. With the tip on the ground at your right side, flip the end up into your left hand and like a billiard cue thrust directly into his throat or eye, withdrawing it in the instant. The action must be very fast - or even faster than that! Practise against a cardboard box in the garden to develop speed and courage. WHACK!

Ferociously dangerous, Yes, of course!

But what is he trying to do? - he's trying to rob, stab or rape you. What choice do you have? You must Survive!
