- Make sure to poke him in the eyes, throat, and groin with the umbrella. Continue prodding it till there is some space between you two.
- Jab him instead of hitting him with the umbrella, as he may easily block a blow with his hands, as you would with a club.
- Look for vulnerable areas, such as the groin. Hit the testicles with a straight-line jab or swing of the umbrella.
- When you’re ready to go, as a last resort, flip open the umbrella.
- Avert striking your arms, chest, or head as this will make it simpler for your assailants to seize you. You will quickly become exhausted if you attempt to wrestle or push him.
