The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques taught for women only. It is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, then progresses to the basics of hands-on defense training.
R.A.D. is not a martial arts program. All courses are taught by certified R.A.D. instructors and provide participants with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire physical defense program for reference and continuous personal growth.
The goal of R.A.D. is to provide realistic self-defense options to women, regardless of their level of physical conditioning. Students at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program, nor does it require students to be athletes in training to succeed.
The R.A.D. System of Physical Defense is taught at many colleges and universities. The widespread acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of its tactics, solid research and unique teaching methodology.
The R.A.D. Systems is dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assault. This system of realistic defense provides women with the knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance and personal defense. We provide information on physical and non-physical options, as well as insight into the attacker mindset.
