What is RAD?
The Rape Aggression Defense system is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. It 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. RAD is not a martial arts program. Our courses are taught by certified RAD Instructors and provide you with a workbook/reference manual. The manual outlines the entire physical defense program for reference and continuous physical growth. The RAD system of physical defense is currently being taught at many colleges and universities.
