It’s one thing to have the spray ready to use as a self-defense weapon, but it’s another thing to know how to use it properly and safely without the spray shooting out and causing you harm.

Top 7 tips on how to safely use pepper spray for self defense:

Safe Spray Tip #1: Don’t stick your hand out in front of you. When you spray, you don’t want your assailant to knock your hand to the side, or worse, grab your hand and take your can.

Safe Spray Tip #2: While spraying, back up and continue backing away from the assailant. Remember, the spray has a range of more than five feet, so you don’t need to be close enough for it to grab it.

Safe Spray Tip #3: Test your spray can every six months. I suggest you try it when you buy it and every six months after that.

My Sifu Earl White from Los Angeles, CA first taught me years ago in a private session that the two best first strikes are attacking vision and cutting off your mobility. This means that once you take away his vision with the spray, you take away his mobility. One of the best follow-up strikes to take away mobility is the 45º knee stomp, in which you step sideways and down on the knee with your foot hard enough to do a lot of damage and even break the kneecap. .
