ABOUT THE R.A.D. SYSTEM
The R.A.D. System is a women’s self-defense training course. It is not a martial arts course.
The basic objective is to develop and enhance realistic self-defense options that may become viable considerations for a woman if attacked.
The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that first teaches awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, and then progresses to the basics of hands-on defense training.
Nationally certified R.A.D. System instructors, who work as police officers with the North Myrtle Beach Public Safety Department, teach this course.
Each student receives a workbook/reference course manual. The workbook/reference manual outlines the entire physical defense program for reference and continuous growth, and is the key to a free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates.
