Why traditional self-defense often doesn't work | Sicherheitsschirm®
Self-defense reimagined – why distance is the crucial factor for true safety
In a dangerous situation, there is a point at which things can turn for the worse:
the moment someone gets too close.
As long as there is distance, one is relatively "safe" and in control.
But as soon as a stranger intrudes into one's personal space – within arm's length, for example – the situation becomes unpredictable:
They can strike, kick, or, in the worst case, stab with something, at any time and almost unforeseeably.
This close distance is very critical because there is hardly any time to react – and physical superiority suddenly plays a decisive role.
Image note: Such a leverage technique may seem controlled in training. However, in a real close-range situation, the crucial question remains: What is the attacker doing with their free hand or left leg? They can grab, hit, kick, or continue to apply pressure – precisely why distance is often more important than complex techniques.
Therefore, the most important rule in self-defense is as simple as it is crucial:
Our technical approach fundamentally differs from many classic self-defense techniques
Instead of relying on immediate body contact, levers, or complicated movements, the aim is to keep the attacker at a distance – to avoid precisely what is particularly unpleasant and dangerous for ordinary people in an emergency: immediate proximity.
For this purpose, the Safety Umbrella® was developed: a high-quality, extremely sturdy premium umbrella
that can be used as a protective tool to maintain distance in an emergency.
The right knowledge is the decisive factor
With each Safety Umbrella, we provide a two-hour video tutorial that shows how to effectively protect oneself with the umbrella in an emergency. The goal is to create distance, maintain control, and avoid being forced into critical proximity in the first place.
The focus is on distance,
control, and avoiding direct body contact.
A particularly clear solution for anyone who wants more security in public spaces – especially for older or less athletic people.
Learning is incredibly easy and pleasant with our two-hour video course
Every umbrella buyer receives online access and can watch the course on a mobile device of their choice – whenever and wherever it is comfortable for them, at their own pace, and with as many repetitions as they wish. Practical exercises are conducted with a trusted partner.

The benefit is immediately understood
Many people invest in self-defense seminars – depending on the provider and scope, costs often range from 80 to several hundred euros. Techniques are learned there that work well under training conditions, but are not always easy to recall in everyday life.
With the Safety Umbrella, however, customers receive a high-quality product that reliably accompanies them in everyday life for many years – and can also be used as a useful tool for distance control if needed.
A large target group
with a real need for safety
In Germany alone, over 25 million people are in the 50+ age group. Many of them are looking for realistic, everyday solutions for greater safety on the go.
The Safety Umbrella appeals precisely to these people: not athletic, not complicated, not aggressive – but logical, serious, and practical.
High quality ensures longevity
The Safety Umbrella has been developed and continuously improved for over 15 years. The result is a high-quality and reliable product.
This saves a lot of money over the years that would otherwise be spent on ordinary umbrellas.
