This is pretty much the first time I've been able to combine work and play, straight quote from the makers regarding the Kendo.

Any ninja businessmen here considering a purchase?

I have three (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SqhhJb_P3Kk/Sc-7RBHfaUI/AAAAAAAAGHw/Qtbw82eC7do/s400/Umbrellas.jpg) myself, not to mention it was referred to me by this person (http://necolebitchie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/britney-spears-umbrella-attack.jpg). She said it held up very good against repeated blows to the suv.

Combine that with a little tanjo practice, and you'll be good to go! :)

I'd consider buying one. More because I go through like 3-5 umbrellas a year. The bastards just keep breaking. They need to show video of the umbrella recovering from being blown out by wind to really sell me, though.

Reminds me of a tessen lined with iron to ward off sword-blows.

"Glide it out of its nylon sheath. Hold it by its space-age plastic handle. Feel the balance. This is the umbrella you never knew you always wanted. No one will mess with you with this slung across your back, and even the rain will shudder when you pull it out."
