The goal of R.A.D. is to provide realistic self defense options to women, regardless of their level of physical conditioning.  Students at all levels of abililty, age, experience and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class.  R.A.D. is NOT a martial arts program, nor does it require students to be athletes in training to succeed.

The R.A.D. system will provide students with the knowledge to make an educated decision about personal defense.  We provide information on physical and non-physical options, as well as insight into the attacker mindset.   

Every student receives a manual for reference and practice.  Once a student has completed a R.A.D. program, their signed manual becomes a ticket for a free lifetime return and practice with any R.A.D. instructor in the USA and Canada. 

The widespread acceptance of the R.A.D. system is due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique training methodology.  R.A.D. is the only self defense program endorsed by the International Associationof Campus Law enforcement Administrators (IACLEA).
