What is R.A.D.?
Rape Aggression Defense Systems 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 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, who are also Police Officers.
All students are provided a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire program for reference.
Students who receive the manual at graduation also receive a lifetime return policy to any R.A.D. class, nationwide, for life. www.rad-systems.com Who will be teaching the course?
