R.A.D. Return to main RAD Homepage

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 that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to basic 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, 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 methodology.

Who can enroll?
R.A.D. is for women only. The contents of the course were developed based on the natural movements and abilities of women in order to maximize a woman’s ability to defend herself.

Courses are open to all women. Priority however goes to students faculty and staff. The registration is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. Enrollment is limited to 20 new students per course. Registration and payment must be completed before attending the first class.

A minor (age 18 and under) may register for the course, but she must first receive permission from her parent or legal guardian before participating in any of the activities of R.A.D. Rape Aggression Defense Basic Course
Four 3-hour sessions Program cost, $15.00 (Includes workbook) The cornerstone of R.A.D. Systems, this course has its foundations in education and awareness. The course includes lecture, discussion and self defense techniques, suitable for women of all ages and abilities. At the end of the course, the women will have the option of participating in a dynamic simulation, which gives them the opportunity to practice their avoidance and physical techniques in a controlled learning environment.
 
Aerosol Defense Options Class
For R.A.D. Basic Program Graduates, one 4-hour session For non-R.A.D. Graduates, two 4-hour sessions Program cost: $18.32 (Includes workbook and training materials) Using the proven R.A.D. Systems philosophy, Aerosol Defense Options destroys the myths and manufacturer hype about pepper spray effectiveness and even its ability to deter a Committed Focused Aggressor. ADO students learn the most realistic methods for accessing, deploying and assisting the aerosol defense option. If the weapon fails to work (and it may), they learn the proven backup strategies needed for successful escape. Stop believing a manufacturers selling hype. At the end of the course, students will understand the usefulness and limits of the aerosol defense weapon, laws regarding its use, and have ample opportunity to practice both with the aerosol defense weapon and their own personal weapons.
