WHAT IS THE RAD SYSTEM?
The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of
realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. The RAD System is
a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention,
risk reduction, and avoidance, while progressing on the basics of
hands-on training. RAD is not a Martial Arts program. The courses
are taught by certified RAD Instructors and provide you with a workbook/reference
manual. The manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program
for reference and continuous personal growth. The RAD System of
Physical Defense is currently being taught at many Colleges and
Universities. The growing, wide spread acceptance of this system
is primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of our
tactics, solid research, legal defensibility and unique teaching
methodology. The Rape Aggression Defense System is dedicated to
teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various
types of assault, by utilizing easy, effective and proven self-defense/martial
arts tactics. This system of realistic defense will provide a woman
with the knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance.
We operate on the premise that a spontaneous violent attack will
stimulate a natural desire to resist, on the part of the victim
(supported by research). We educate women about, "The Flight
or Fight Syndrome", while showing them that enhancing their
option of physical defense is not only prudent, but a necessity
if natural resistance is to be effective.
Safety and survival in today's world requires a definite course
of action. We provide effective options by teaching women to take
an active role in their own self-defense and psychological well-being.

DON'T BE VICTIMIZED BY FEAR
* "In
fact, the most often used strategy for avoiders (of rape) appears
to have been a combination of screaming and use of physical resistance."
