R.A.D. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Utilizing the R.A.D. student manual, students will be involved in a discussion of risk reduction strategies, date rape, continuum of survival, defensive strategies, and the basic principles of defense. We also discuss how to develop a defensive mindset, understanding offensive and defensive postures, recognizing vulnerable locations and utilizing personal weapons.
Hours 4-6:
Participating students will begin the process of hands on training. The techniques utilized by R.A.D. Systems are based on simple gross motor skills and are developed to the point that they become instinctual trough repetition.
Students will have the opportunity to use these techniques in dynamic impact training by striking padded equipment held by the instructors. All techniques target a single attacker.
Hours 7-9:
Students will be introduced to ground defense techniques and will continue to refine the skills previously learned with "practice, practice and practice".
Hours 10-12 (optional.):
Students will then participate in "simulated assault" scenarios at full contact with the R.A.D. instructors, who wear state of the art protective gear, specifically designed for this training. Women have to opportunity to utilize their skills in a safe training environment, monitored by instructors.
