R.A.D. System
The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. Our courses are taught by certified R.A.D. instructors and provide you with a workbook / reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth. The R.A.D. System of Physical Defense is currently being taught nationwide. The growing, wide spread acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, and unique teaching methodology. The Rape Aggression Defense System is dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assault, by utilizing easy, effective and proven self-defense. Our system of realistic defense will provide women with the knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance.
