R.A.D. Self-Defense Training

Many women have never heard of the RAD System, but it has been around since 1989. It is taught by certified R.A.D. instructors on many college campuses and in local communities throughout the United States.

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. The courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workload/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.

There is a R.A.D. Self-Defense class starting on March 4, 2008 in Elkhart, Indiana through the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department. I have signed up to take the 4-week class from 6:00-9:00 p.m. and will write a post after each class session. I am looking forward to learning the program’s self-defense tactics and techniques.

The initiative we take in our personal protection education will help us to recognize, defuse, and escape life threatening situations and not become a victim. Always being aware of your surroundings and knowing what to do in an attack situation can give you a tremendous sense of empowerment.

Be proactive with your personal safety and check with the local police department on self-defense or R.A.D. classes offered in your community. Arm yourself with the knowledge and tactics of how to protect and defend yourself. It may save your life someday!

Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!
