Coral Gables Campus: Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) courses offered

Feb
16

Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.):
Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) is a 12-hour, in-depth, internationally recognized program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The comprehensive course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and risk avoidance before progressing into detailed hands-on defense training, which includes a final simulation exercise. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program but rather a physical defense program designed specifically for women to utilize in the most common types of physical-attack situations.

Note that participants must be at least 16 years of age to attend alone. Interested women younger than 16 should visit the FAQ Page for program age policies. The program cost is $35 for students, faculty, and staff, and $45 for non-UM-affiliated individuals (public). Credit card payment is due at time of online registration. Please review the Self-Defense Program Payment Policies prior to registering and paying.

Next classes offered at the Coral Gables campus:
RAD Course # 110216 R:  February 16, 21, and 23. (You must attend all three sessions.)

Self-Defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange (S.A.F.E.)
Self-Defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange (S.A.F.E.) is a 2.5-hour introduction to self-defense program that provides women with risk awareness, risk reduction, and personal safety information, in addition to a few very basic physical defense techniques. While S.A.F.E. is not an in-depth self-defense program, it encompasses information about prevention, options, and strategies as well as some very basic physical defense technique instruction. The requested course contribution is $10 for students, faculty, and staff and $15 for non-University-affiliated individuals (public).
