This is an advanced level course and completion of the Basic R.A.D.: Basic Rape Aggression Defense System workshop is required. This is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques; inlcuding advanced head throwing and leg trapping.
The Rape Aggression Defense system is a comprehensive course for women that is based on awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, and progresses on to the basics of hands-on defense training.
Dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assault, the R.A.D. System utilizes easy, effective and proven self-defense and martial arts tactics. Our system of realistic defense will provide a woman with knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance.
We operate on the proven premise that a spontaneous violent attack will stimulate a victim’s natural desire to resist. We educate women about “The Flight or Fight Syndrome,” while showing them that enhancing their option of physical defense is not only prudent, but a necessity for effective natural resistance.
Safety and survival in today’s world requires a definite course of action. We provide effective options by teaching women to take an active role in their own self-defense and psychological well-being. This program has been specifically designed for women; there is a separate course designed for men.
