Free online course for anyone looking to level up their personal safety.
Tactical Things UK has a long-standing reputation for “unbreakable” gear like personal self defence umbrellas.
From April 4th 2026 we have introduced a free instructional course that definitely bridges the gap between owning a tool and actually knowing how to use it effectively.
The Course Details
The Security Umbrella Video Course is developed by self-defence expert Robert Amper. It’s designed to be a realistic guide rather than a flashy “movie-style” tutorial.
-
Access: You typically receive a personal access link via email within 24 hours of your purchase.
-
Format: Online video that can be viewed on tablets, laptops, or phones.
-
Content: It covers fundamental movements, how to create distance, effective striking points, and—importantly—how to avoid common mistakes that could put you in more danger.
The Hardware
The umbrellas themselves are the real deal. If you haven’t seen the specs yet, they are famous for:
-
Durability: They feature a high-tech carbon inner core that is virtually indestructible (there are famous videos of people standing on them or using them to support their full body weight).
-
Legality: Since it is a fully functional rain umbrella with no hidden blades or “unusual” components, it is legal to carry everywhere, including airports and government buildings.
-
Weight: Despite the strength, they usually weigh under 700g, making them practical for daily use.
Pricing Reference
While the course is free with an umbrella purchase, for those who already own a sturdy umbrella, the course is often sold separately on the site for about £19.50 (down from a standard £39.50).
