RAD - Self Defense for Women
"...to develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked."

- • Is dedicated to teaching defensive concepts and techniques
- • Utilizes easy, effective and proven tactics against various types of assault
- • Provides the knowledge to make educated decisions about resistance
- • Teaches women to take an active role in personal self defense and psychological well being
