The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk 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 nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and 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 R.A.D. graduates

FAQ
Typical Questions asked about the R.A.D. Class

A: The typical R.A.D. class is 12
hours long. This is broken up into four three -hour segments. OR six
two-hour segments.
Q: How
many people are in each class?
A: While there is no set amount of students
for each class, we do limit class size to ensure that each participant
feels comfortable and is able to receive proper instruction.
Q: What
time is the class?

actual participation. An example of the offered class times might be
5 to 9:30 p.m. We will make every effort to meet the needs of your
group.
Q: Do I have to go
to all classes?

to “graduate” from the class and receive your pass to any
future R.A.D. classes held throughout the United States, free of charge.
Each class builds from the previous class with regard to defensive
techniques.
Q: Do I really
get to hit someone in a suit?
A: Yes. You will get the chance to practice
what is taught to you in previous classes, on one of the instructors
who will be dressed up in a well padded protective suit. This is called
simulation training and is a valuable part of the class as it gives
the student a chance to see how their newly learned skills work in
real life situations. This part of the class is optional, but is encouraged.
Q:
Do I need to be an athlete to participate?

is designed so that the average person can take it. We instruct people
to go at their own pace and we never ask you to do something you can't
do or do not want to do.
