Self-Defense Education: Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) Systems

The Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) Systems is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive, women-only course, which begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, as well as the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. The courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. The course includes lecture, discussion and self-defense techniques, suitable for women of all ages and abilities. The basic physical defense program consists of four sessions lasting three hours each, for a total of twelve hours of instruction including a dynamic simulation. Please note that girls under age 13 may not participate due to the adult-themed subject matter.
