RAD:  Rape aggression defense.  Defense against Abduction

Rape Aggression Defense training for women


RAD’s primary focus is the realistic development of self-defense options for women, before and during situations of imminent or actual abduction assault.  We create opportunities for women to realize their inner power and strength. It is a program of realistic, self defense tactics and techniques.

The course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on training.  RAD system of realistic defense will provide a woman with knowledge to make an educational decision about resistance.

RAD is specifically designed for women who are willing to consider as a viable option, defense, in situations where their life is in jeopardy.

The RAD system offers a basic education of confrontation principals and personal defense.

Research has supported resistance as a viable option for those assaulted without warning.  Because resistance is such a natural response when an individual encounters violence, developing skills that could extract one from compromising situations is critical.
