Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) is a simple yet affective self-defense class for women only. This course consists of a lecture portion, which focuses on Risk Awareness, Risk Reduction, Risk Recognition and Risk Avoidance, followed by hands on tactical training. The techniques taught are designed to be quick and effective with the intention of escaping.
Rape Aggression Defense is a twelve-hour course, delivered in four, three-hour classes.
R.A.D. is one of only a handful of self-defense classes that offers a live simulation at its conclusion. In the simulation, students wear protective gear and participate in a live attack with the R.A.D. Man. This portion of the course is invaluable in that it provides the student with the confidence to defend themselves. Participation in the first three classes is required to participate in simulation as the course is progressive in technique development.
