The Rape Aggression Defense Basic
Personal Defense System is a national program of realistic self-defense
tactics and techniques taught for women only. All courses are
taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors.
The goal of R.A.D. is to provide
realistic self-defense options to women, regardless of their
level of physical conditioning. Students at all levels of ability,
age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques
and information that can be effectively used from the first
day of class. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program, nor does
it require students to be athletes in training to succeed.
The R.A.D. system will provide
students with the knowledge to make an educated decision about
personal defense. We provide information on physical and non-physical
options, as well as insight into the attacker mindset.
Every student receives a manual
for reference and practice. Once a student has completed a R.A.D.
program, their signed manual becomes a ticket for free lifetime
return and practice with any R.A.D. instructor in the US and
Canada.
The widespread acceptance
of the R.A.D. system is due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness
of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique
teaching methodology. R.A.D. is the only self-defense program
endorsed by the International
Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA).
