What is R.A.D.?

R.A.D. is not a martial arts program. 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 ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class.

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 any R.A.D. program, their signed manual becomes a ticket for free lifetime return and practice for that same program with any R.A.D. instructor in the US and Canada. Upon successful completion of the radKIDS program, students are entitled to free return and practice anywhere radKIDS is taught until the child's 11th birthday.

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 teaching methodology. It is the only self-defense program endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA).
