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).
Why R.A.D.?
R.A.D. is the largest
network of its kind with over 7000 Instructors having received
training in our systems to date. These Instructors teach at
various colleges, universities, and municipal law enforcement
agencies as well as various other community organizations
internationally. R.A.D. has trained more than 300,000 women
throughout the U.S. and Canada since the program began in 1989.
R.A.D. is the only
existing program with a free lifetime return and practice policy,
honored throughout both the US and Canada.
R.A.D. has developed
specialized simulation techniques and equipment for use by
certified R.A.D. instructors.
