Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) is a simple yet affective self-defense class for women only. This course consists of a lecture portion, which focuses on Risk Awareness, Risk Reduction, and Risk Avoidance, followed by hands on tactical training. The techniques taught are designed to be quick and effective in delivering pain to vulnerable locations on the attackers body. The course is designed such that women of all fitness levels and ages will be successful in learning options to escape attacks.

R.A.D. is one of only a handful of self-defense classes that offers a live simulation at its conclusion. In the simulation, students wear protective gear and participate in a live attack with the R.A.D. Man. This portion of the course is invaluable in that it provides the student with the confidence to defend themselves.

Rape Aggression Defense is a twelve-hour course, delivered in four, three-hour classes. Participation in all four classes is necessary to complete the course. Students who complete the course are provided a R.A.D. manual containing vital information.

The course instructors are Sgt. Haynes and Sgt. Elliott. The course is open to any students, faculty or staff at No Charge.

Self-defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange is a two hour program offered by the KSU Police for female students, faculty and staff at KSU, free of charge. The program is based upon the following ideas: violent crimes are crimes of opportunity, and when you remove the element of opportunity, you reduce the risk of attack. 90% of self-defense is mental preparedness; the other 10% is physical.

S.A.F.E. will provide participants with great crime prevention information and resources as well as a pre-basic familiarization with physical training methods.

We have no S.A.F.E. classes scheduled at this time.
