Rape
Aggression Defense
Class schedule
as follows:
To be announced
Our Instructional Objective
"To develop and enhance
the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations
to the woman who is attacked."
Lawrence N. Nadeau
Founder & Executive Director
The Rape Aggression
Defense Systems, program (R.A.D.), founded by
Lawrence N. Nadeau, is a self-defense program for women made up
of easy to learn techniques that have realistic and practical applications.
Every woman who participates in this self-defense program receives
a free return and practice policy which is equivalent to a lifetime
membership.
The Rape Aggression Defense program
objective is to develop and enhance the options of self defense for
women. You as a participant will be presented with various options
to consider for use in a self-defense situation. The educational
format also includes awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance
strategies.
Certified R.A.D. instructors from the
Notre Dame Security/Police Department discuss and address issues of
personal safety with participants, so as to equip you with
valuable
background information before physical techniques are even introduced.
Through the Rape Aggression Defense program, you will learn that no
one decision is right for all women in all situations. Unlike
other self defense programs, we teach you practical defense techniques
that require no special equipment or skill; techniques that will become
instinctive with repetition.
Most importantly, the Rape Aggression
Defense program gives women the opportunity to test their abilities
on a real person during a simulated attack. What an empowering
experience it is for women to learn that they do have viable options
for physical defense if they choose to resist an attack! In
a study of 150 sexually assaulted women reported to the police, it
was found that women who are forceful about resisting a would
be rapist are less likely to be raped, and/or injured, than
those who do not resist..
The Notre Dame Security/Police Certified
Instructors will attempt to provide you with information, tactics
and considerations which the program believes may be useful for the
various types of abductive perpetrated against women.
The Self-Defense program hopes to make
legitimate contributions by taking action with women in communities
both local and nationwide.
(Note: the Rape Aggression Defense
program cannot anticipate all the situations or conditions under which
this information may be used, nor does R.A.D. know the specific skills,
experiences, abilities or limitations our attendants possess individually.)
