R.A.D. Systems Self-defense Training
The Basic Physical Defense program is a minimum of nine hours or twelve hours with simulation. The 9-12 hours are generally broken down in two, three or four session classes depending on scheduling necessity of participants and facility availability.
Simulation is when the participant is placed in a scenario that simulates situations the participant might face in real life. Simulations are performed only by certified instructors and control monitors to ensure a safe, controlled experience, for both the participant and instructor.
No, your participation in simulation is optional, however it is strongly encouraged. Simulation gives the participant the opportunity to use the skills she has just learned and see how they work in realistic scenarios.
No. This program is designed for the average woman with no previous experience or background in physical skills training.
Class size is limited to create comfortable learning environment and to ensure the safety of everyone participating.
Class dates will vary depending on demand, participation and facility availability. Class times will primarily depend on the need of the participants. Example: two six hour sessions on a weekend, three four hour sessions over the course of three weeks, etc…

How Much Does It Cost To Attend A Class?
For our R.A.D. Program we will be attempting to utilize the Value 4 Value model. Simply put, with each course that we facilitate, we make a commitment to provide everyone that attends, with value, in the form of information, discussions, techniques and the time, energy and heart that we put into it. If you find value in the course that we provide for you, we encourage you to put value back into the program. We believe this model will keep the cost reasonable to those who might need it most and gives an opportunity to show your support for the program by assigning monetary value to the value of the information and experiences you had during the course. We do our best to keep our costs low so that we can continue to provide this valuable training. Our instructors are passionate about getting this training out to as many people as possible and truly believe in the value of the training. We hope that not only do you have an opportunity to attend one of our training courses, but also that you will find the same value in it, that we have.
