Is this a good way to self defend?
Before someone jumps to the opposite conclusion, no, I don't like these ideas, but I see them everywhere, and my opinion doesn't seem to matter much in practical terms. As usual, people seldom bother to make explicit the ultimate logical consequences of the ideas they casually show now and then, and this keeps them from looking as crazy and obsessed as I do, but the consequences are there all the same.
Firstly, who cares? would you not rather be alive and potentially seen as a coward by some than being unversally recognized as the worlds manliest corpse? We are assuming that we are talking about a real, sincere attack, not some BS macho half-show half-duel.
Besides, would you want to be the attacker who was defeated by a seemingly ordinary umbrella?
Secondly, if the other guy is twice my size and filled to the brim with incoherent rage, I may as well be a geriatric for all the good fighting him unarmed like the worlds manliest future corpse. You seem to think that society at large operates on some sort of superficial social Darwinist BS. Humans are incredibly weak compared to other animals. Humans are incredibly smart when compared to other animals. As a consequence of our intelligence, we learned how to work together to overcome tasks we couldn't overcome alone, and we learned how to use tools to do things we couldn't manage without them. And just as he would think twice about attacking you if you hade a bunch of friends with you and he didnt, the same applies if you have a club and he does not. Fight smart, not hard.

No. Unless you're a trained knife fighter, statistically you have a higher chance of injuring yourself as much or more than the other person.
Best to kick/knee them in the crotch and then gtfo of there. If they're too close, use the hardest bone in your body to stun them by head butting them right in the nose. If you're going to get hurt, you may as well get hurt hurting them worse.
These are all tips I learned at a one day self defence class my mother made me take when I was a young teenager.
