RAD
The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques 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 defense training. RAD is not a Martial Arts program. The courses are taught by nationally certified RAD Instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to the free lifetime return and practice policy for RAD graduates.
RAD classes are periodically held by the Public Safety Department, free of charge to all Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center community members. For more information on the RAD program or on upcoming classes please contact our dispatch center and ask to speak with the RAD program coordinator.
