RAD-Rape Aggression Defense System (2 credits or non-credit) GEN/PE2030, is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques.  The RAD system is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, preventions, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training.  RAD is not a Martial Arts program.  Our course are taught by certified RAD instructors and provide you with a workbook/reference manual.  This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program reference and personal growth.  The RAD System is currently 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.
