At Westshore E.M.R, we offer the R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) System, a comprehensive self-defense course designed specifically for women. This training teaches realistic self-defense techniques and tactics that focus on both personal awareness and hands-on defense skills. The R.A.D. System aims to empower women by providing them with the knowledge and confidence to recognize and reduce risk, as well as effectively defend themselves in potentially dangerous situations.
The R.A.D. System is not a martial arts class, but a practical self-defense course specifically designed to address the unique challenges women face in dangerous or high-risk situations. The course is structured around two main goals:
Recognizing and Reducing Risk: Women are taught to identify early warning signs of danger, how to avoid threatening situations, and ways to increase personal awareness in everyday environments, reducing the chances of becoming a victim.
Hands-On Defense Techniques: Participants gain practical, easy-to-learn self-defense techniques that can be used to physically protect themselves in real-life situations. The course provides women with the confidence to react decisively and assertively if confronted with an aggressor.
Risk Awareness Training: Learn how to identify potentially dangerous situations and understand the psychology of an attacker. The course focuses on how to prevent being caught off-guard and how to minimize risks by staying alert and recognizing threatening behaviors.
Verbal Defense Techniques: The course includes training on using your voice and body language to de-escalate situations before they turn violent. This includes assertiveness training and learning how to communicate effectively to reduce risk.
Physical Defense Techniques: Participants will practice basic, effective physical techniques designed to defend against common attacks, such as grabs, chokes, and strikes. These simple and realistic techniques are tailored for women, focusing on leveraging strength, speed, and using the environment to your advantage.
Escape Strategies: Learn the best ways to break free from different types of holds or restraints, empowering you to escape an attacker and reach safety.
Hands-On Practice: Each participant will have the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned in realistic, controlled scenarios with instructors. This hands-on experience helps build confidence and ensures that techniques are practical and can be executed under stress.
Women of All Ages and Fitness Levels: Whether you’re a college student, a working professional, or a mother, this course is designed to accommodate women of all backgrounds and fitness levels.
Teenagers: This course is also beneficial for teenage girls who are becoming more independent and need the confidence and skills to protect themselves in unfamiliar or potentially unsafe situations.
Community Groups and Organizations: The R.A.D. System is ideal for groups, schools, and workplaces that want to provide women with the tools to enhance their safety and confidence.
