Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.)

The basis of the Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) system is realistic self defense for Women (not a martial arts program). It provides women and young girls with an environment to nurture and develop positive skills, attitudes, belief in self and physical fitness. It is structured as a WOMEN ONLY course and taught by certified R.A.D. instructors. The three focuses are: Risk Reduction, Physical Defense and Dynamic Simulation. Students are provided with a course booklet for practice and reference. The booklet outlines the entire course and remains with the student upon course completion for growth and development. Each student, upon successful completion of the R.A.D. course, is a lifetime member and may return FREE to courses offered around the country (with their student manual signed by the R.A.D. instructor).

Why Women Only?

Statistically most assaults on women are committed by men
Assaults on women and men are very different in nature
Women typically are unfamiliar with their capabilities, as most have never hit anything prior to this class
This training helps women realize their potential for self protection, versus reliance on others
Easier for women to bond
Reduces the likelihood of "improper touching" with the large amount of physical contact
Less likely for a "criminal" to be in the class
Title IX of the U. S. code, subpart D 106.34 (07/01/92) specifically outlines separation of sexes in classes where physical contact is necessary.

This program was created with the generous support of the ISU Parents Advisory Board and University Health Education Coordinating Council.
