Could You Effectively Defend Yourself If Attacked?
Be Aware...
-
1 out of every 4 college women
polled was sexually assaulted during four years at college. (Ms.
Magazine Study on Sexual Assault and Rape)
-
Between 1973 and 1987, (14
years). over 2.3 million women reported sexual assaults in
the United States. 71% of these victims avoided being raped
by taking self-protective measures. (United States Dept. of
Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics)
Develop Your Options.
In 1998, rape victims took
self-protective measures in 86.7% of the cases. "Rape victims were
more likely to defend themselves than assault or robbery victims."
(Criminal Victimization in the United States, 1988).
Don't Be Victimized By Fear.
In fact, the most often used
strategy for avoiders (of rape) appears to have been a combination
of screaming and use of physical resistance." (Bart, P. & O'Brien,
P. (1985). Stopping Rape: Successful Survival Strategies.
Pergamon Press, New York.)
WHAT IS THE RAD SYSTEM?
The Rape
Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic,
self-defense tactics and techniques. The RAD System is a
comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness,
prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to
the basics of hands-on defense training. RAD is not a Marital Arts
program. Our courses are taught by certified RAD Instructors and
provide you with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines
the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous
personal growth. The RAD System of Physical Defense is currently
being 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. The
Rape Aggression Defense System is dedicated to teaching women
defensive concepts and techniques against various types of
assault, by utilizing easy, effective and proven
self-defense/martial arts tactics. Our system of realistic defense
will provide a woman with the knowledge to make an educated
decision about resistance.
We operate
on the premise that a spontaneous violent attack will stimulate a
natural desire to resist, on the part of the victim (supported by
research). We educate women about "The Flight or Fight Syndrome,"
while showing them that enhancing their option of physical defense
is not only prudent, but a necessity if natural resistance is to
be effective.
Safety and
survival in today's world requires a definite course of action. We
provide effective options by teaching women to take an active role
in their own self-defense and psychological well being.
