About R.A.D. Self Defense Program
R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) is a “women only” self-defense program designed to enhance a woman’s natural desire to RESIST rape/aggression as well as enhance the human natural “fight of flight” response when dealing with aggression. The course not only teaches women techniques for physical defense but also teaches women techniques to prevent a potential attack through “situational awareness” of their surroundings and trusting their “sixth sense” when it is warning her of danger. Students in the class will have the opportunity to test their newly learned skills in a controlled environment during a training simulation with a trained aggressor. The minimum age for this course is 12 years and there is not maximum age limit. You may go to http://www.rad-systems.com/ to learn more about the RAD curriculum.
