This manual outlines the entire physical self-defense program and can be referred for continued personal growth. During the typical course lecture, audio and visual aids are mixed with stretching, warm ups and hands on demonstrations and exercises. Each class repeats the previous drills and progresses to the next phase of defense. The final class gives a complete review of all techniques covered. The course then culminates in various scenarios of unrehearsed simulated attacks in which the student fends off one or more aggressors.
All participants are in padded gear and video taped for review.
Currently the Rape Aggression Defense system is taught throughout the United States and Canada in universities, colleges, cities and towns. All students receive a lifetime free return and practice policy. The RAD program at Boston University is a collaborative effort between the BUPD and the BU Wellness Center .
