R.A.D.
Basic Physical Defense
What is R.A.D?
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. 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 at many colleges
and Universities. The growing widespread acceptance of this system is
primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of our 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, by utilizing easy, effective
and proven self defense tactics. Our system of realistic defense will
provide a woman with the knowledge to make an educated decision about
resistance.
R.A.D. Objective
“To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become
viable considerations to the woman who is attacked.”

* Somewhere in America, a woman is sexually assaulted every 2 minutes,
according to the U.S. Department of Justice. |
| * Approximately 68% of rape victims knew their assailant. [Violence against
women. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Dept of Justice, 1994] |
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.
R.A.D. Course Description
12 hr. Basic Physical Defense class:
Session 1
Utilizing the R.A.D. student manual, students will be involved in a
discussion of risk reduction strategies, date rape, continuum of survival,
defensive strategies and the basic principals of defense. We also discuss
the pros and cons of defensive weaponry how to develop a defensive mindset,
understanding offensive and defensive postures, recognizing vulnerable
locations and utilizing personal weapons. Session 2
Participating students will begin the process of hand on training. The
techniques utilized by R.A.D. Systems are based on simple gross motor skill
and are developed to the point that they become instinctual through
repetition. Students will have the opportunity to use these techniques in
dynamic impact training by striking padded equipment held by the
instructors. All techniques target a single attacker.
Session 3
Participating students will continue to refine the skills previously learned
with “practice, practice and practice”
Session 4
Students will then participate in “simulated assault” scenarios with R.A.D.
instructors, who along with participants, wear state-of-the-art protective
gear specifically designed for this training. Women have the opportunity to
utilize their skills in a safe training environment.
