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).

It’s a clever way to stay prepared without looking “tactical” in public. 

Just remember that self-defence tools are most effective when paired with situational awareness—the best fight is the one you aren’t in!

The Security Umbrella “City-Safe”is a specialized personal safety tool designed for travelers and commuters that functions as both a high-quality rain umbrella and a legal self-defence baton. Its primary value for travel safety lies in its “unbreakable” construction and the fact that it is a non-regulated item that can be carried into secure areas where other self-defence tools are prohibited. 

Key Personal Safety Features:

• Unbreakable Construction: Built with a virtually indestructible carbon fibre or high-strength fiberglass shaft, the umbrella can withstand significant force and even support the weight of a person up to 120kg.
• Tactical Defensive Length: At 78 cm (30″) long, it is specifically sized to function like a Hanbo or defensive stick. This length is ideal for blocking strikes, kicks, and jabs in confined urban spaces like buses, trains, or crowded city streets.
• Element of Surprise: Because it looks like a standard, elegant umbrella, it does not provoke attention or alert potential attackers to your defensive capabilities.
• Inconspicuous and Legal: Unlike pepper spray, stun guns, or tactical batons, this umbrella is legal worldwide and can be carried into official buildings, public events, and even onto aeroplanes.
• Reflective Safety: Some models include a subtle reflection band to increase your visibility to vehicles when walking in the dark or during low-visibility. 

Product Specifications & Variants:

• Weight: 600–700 grams.
• Open Diameter: 96 cm (37.8″), providing standard rain protection for one person.
• Handle Options: Available with various designer wood handles, including Knob Handle (beech or plum) and Hook Handle (walnut).

The high demand for City-Safe Unbreakable Safety Umbrellas is driven by their unique combination of being a fully functional, high-quality rain umbrella and an effective, discreet self-defence tool.

They are currently in high demand due to their ability to provide security in crowded urban environments where other self-defence aids might be restricted. 

• Virtually Unbreakable Construction: The shaft is made from special fiberglass, making it incredibly robust—strong enough to support the weight of a person up to 120 kg (265 lbs), yet it remains lightweight at around 600-700 grams.
• Legal Worldwide: Unlike pepper spray, stun guns, or tactical batons, the City-Safe umbrella is considered a “regular” everyday object, meaning it can be carried legally anywhere, including on airplanes, in public transport, and at events.
• Designed for City Use: With a length of 78 cm (30 inches), it is specifically designed to be handy in cramped spaces, such as busy city streets, trains, or buses.
• Highly Efficient Defence: It serves as an effective, non-lethal tool for blocking strikes, kicks, and jabs. It acts similarly to a hanbo or defensive stick, offering range and security.
• Discreet Appearance: It looks like a high-quality, elegant umbrella, often featuring a solid wood knob handle (available in beech, black, or plum).
• Added Safety Features: Many models include a subtle, reflective band for better visibility in the dark. 

This model is specifically designed for crowded areas with a shorter 78 cm length for better handling in tight spaces.
