MIDDLETON, N.J., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Captain' Chris Pizzo, creator of the self defense DVD program 'Close Combat Training' agrees that pepper spray is a viable form of self defense. However, in a recently published article titled 'A Closer Look at Pepper Spray,' Pizzo explains how pepper spray can backfire without education.

Pizzo says that while pepper spray is an effective personal safety tool, it must be used properly in order to be effective. The article offers tips and advice from wielding the self defense spray to storing it.

"Just like martial arts, using pepper spray still requires that you practice every move until it flows from you like your very breath so that you're prepared in a life or death situation," says Captain Chris Pizzo.
