R.A.D.

R.A.D. is an empowering experience that focuses on developing women’s self-defense options, making them viable considerations when faced with attacks. Through education, instilling self-dependency, encouraging decision-making, and realizing physical power, women undergo a transformative process, enhancing their ability to protect themselves confidently. The R.A.D. Systems of Self-Defense programs include educational components comprised of lecture, discussion and physical resistive strategies, all of which are facilitated by certified R.A.D. instructors.
