The program has been taught at more than 100 colleges and universities. Grinnell College offers classes through the Security Office . The R.A.D. system is a comprehensive course. We teach risk reduction techniques to be used at home, out and about, at your vehicle, as well while traveling or dating. We teach the importance of being aware of your surroundings and how that alone can be a deterrent to aggression.
Women experience how to deliver an effective strike to vulnerable areas of the aggressor.
The basic self-defense tactics are easy to learn, retain, and employ. Women are then given the opportunity to experience an attack in a controlled setting. Instructors wear protective equipment that allows women to use the trained techniques at full power. The R.A.D. program is a 12-hour course usually divided over a two or three day period.
