RAD Basic
Objective:
"To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked."
The RAD program of self defense offers a unique and comprehensive approach to womens safety. Instructors address issues of personal safety, awareness and risk reduction, equipping participants with valuable background information before physical techniques are even introduced. Above all, the program is based on the assumption that no one decision is right for all women in all situations -- discussion revolves around a woman's choices and options. This focus empowers women and creates a supportive and safe classroom environment in which to learn and practice the self defense techniques.
Unlike other self defense programs, RAD teaches practical defensive techniques -- no special equipment or skill is needed. The course was designed for the average women and is open to women only.
