I personally carry Sabre Red, however POM has been making inroads into the OC Spray market. I have for several years now been promoting the use of OC Spray as useful tool for self defense whether or not you carry a gun or some other potentially lethal weapon. POM has put out a number of instructional videos on the use of OC Spray, and I will be rshowing them over the next few weeks.
Sometimes the most innocuous items can be useful in getting you out of a bad situation.
And Russia and China ain't happy about it. They consider it an unwarranted escalation of military dominance.

I think I may have reviewed this a couple of years ago, but I couldn't find it, so I'm bringing it back as a Favor to my friend TC. The Lucky Gunner Youtube channel puts out what I consider honest reviews and if they don't like something, or it has few negatives, they'll tell you so.

If you're not used to violence, it can come as a big shock when you're suddenly faced with it out of the blue. Someone walks up to you in the street, on a train station, or in bar and either they feel that you've disrespected them for some reason, or if they want your wallet and your phone, and you freeze up.
If you've trained in the martial arts any fighting you've done is in a controlled environment. This video goes to how you learn to control and use that fear.
The only negative to this video is the really bad music in the background of the opening segment. But it was typical for the early 2000's, so just try to ignore it.
