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 lectures, discussions, 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 the age of 13 may not participate due to adult-themed subject matter.
If you are able to attend all four classes, starting on Oct. 7, and are interested in participating, please sign up by going clicking Fall 2024 RAD Training Flyer.
