Safety and survival in today’s world requires a definite course of action. We provide effective options by teaching women to take an active role in their own self defense and psychological well being.
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 beginning with awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and avoidance while progressing to the basics of hands-on self-defense training. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program. Our 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 R.A.D. System of physical defense is currently being taught at many colleges, universities, and police departments. The growing wide spread acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique teaching methods. 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/martial arts tactics. This system of realistic defense will provide women with the knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance. We operate on the premise that a spontaneous violent attack will stimulate a natural desire to resist on the part of the victim, which is supported by research. We educate women about the “Flight or Flight Syndrome,” while showing them that enhancing their option of physical defense is not only prudent, but a necessity if natural resistance is to be effective.
