What is R.A.D.?


R.A.D. is a self-defense program designed for women only. This course is 12 hours in length. The course begins with a classroom portion that covers topics on general safety, how to make your residence more secure, travel safety, the use of weapons, what to do after an attack and much more. Each student will be provided with a student manual. We then get into hands on self-defense. We will begin with blocks, work to punches and kicks, and finish up with ground defense. The course then ends with simulation training. Simulation training gives you the opportunity to put together all you have learned. This is the time you get to put the punches and kicks together in a simulated attack by the R.A.D. instructors.

What do participants think about R.A.D.?


The following are some quotes taken from evaluation forms of our R.A.D. participants:
  • "This course far surpassed all expectations."
  • "Great experience, a very thorough and sensitive instructor."
  • "Great program! I feel so much more confident & prepared."
  • "The instructors all were very supportive and really made me believe that I can survive."
