SARA offers self-defense training for all women in our community. These trainings are taught by SARA staff who are certified as R.A.D. Systems Instructors.
The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, safety planning, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. The R.A.D. course is taught by a SARA staff member who is a nationally certified R.A.D. Instructor. Each student will be provided with a workbook/reference manual which outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates.
