What is the RAD System?
The Rape Aggression Defense System (RAD) 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 to the basics of hands-on defense training.
RAD is not a martial arts program. Our courses are taught by certified RAD instructors and provide you with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire physical defense program for reference and continuos personal growth.
The RAD system of physical defense is currently being taught at many Universities and colleges. The growing, wide spread acceptance of this system is is primarily due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique teaching methodology. The RAD system is dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assault, by utilizing easy, effective and proven self-defense. Our 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 Fight or Flight 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.
RAD at IPFW
The basic system is comprehensive 12-hour course which begins with lectures on awareness, risk reduction, and avoidance, then continues with the basics of hands-on training. Students receive a manual that will act as their "ticket" to future course taught in the basic system.
RAD skills must be practiced for a lifetime. Once a student has completed a system with RAD, she may attend any RAD course of that system, and practice for free, in the United States and Canada.
