Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Training

Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Systems is a training program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. This is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, and progresses to basic, hands-on defense training.

RAD is not a martial arts program. The course is taught by nationally certified RAD instructors. They provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire physical defense program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for RAD graduates.

About the Training

• RAD training courses are designed for women and are held at least once per semester.
• The training is a 12 hour class that is divided into two sessions.
• You must attend both days to complete the training and receive your lifetime certificate.
