The Rape Aggression Defense System (R.A.D.) is based on the philosophy of choices: “to develop and enhance the OPTIONS of self defense, so that they become more viable considerations for the woman who is attacked.” While it is completely natural to resist, unless a woman is trained to do so, the resistance she attempts may be futile. This course will try to strengthen innate survival techniques by making more options available. Preparation through education and training is usually the best way to survive an assault situation. Issues to be addressed include awareness and prevention, sexual assault definitions, patterns of encounter, the decision to resist, basic principles of self-defense, and the defensive mindset. This course will end with realistic simulation training.
