Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Program
SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING FOR WOMEN
The Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques developed for women. The RAD System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on self-defense training.
The UTA Police Department will present the RAD program free of charge to current UTA students, faculty, and staff. The course will be taught by a certified RAD Instructor within the UTA Police Department, and will provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire RAD Physical Defense System for reference and continuous personal growth. The program is designed to help women overcome the effects of sexual violence by teaching assertiveness, awareness, risk reduction, avoidance, and physical defense options and strategies.
