Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) is an in-depth, nationally recognized women’s self-defense program that teaches the basic principles of safety awareness, risk reduction, and practical physical defense techniques. The University of Miami Police Department is a designated R.A.D. program partner with several certified instructors. The philosophy and methods taught in this program were designed with the most common types of assault against women in mind.
The Basic Physical Defense Program consists of 12 hours of instruction over three evenings. Classes consist of lectures, demonstrations, drills, and a final simulation exercise. Classes are physically demanding but not beyond the abilities of any dedicated participant.
The three sessions will be held on September 1, 3, and 8 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Please note that this is a three-class program, and participants must attend all classes. The sessions will be held on the Coral Gables campus (exact location only disclosed to those who register). The cost is $35 for students, faculty, and staff; $45 for non-UM affiliated individuals. Cash or checks payable to University of Miami Police are accepted. Advanced signup is required due to limited class size.
