What does R.A.D do?
R.A.D. empowers women through self-defense.
How?
- By educating women in basic confrontational principles, like understanding reaction time, vulnerable target areas. Personal weapons, postures of conflict, physiological effects of the body during confrontation and development of a survival mind set. The more women learn about confrontational principles, the less they fear confrontation.
- By instilling a dependency on self. Throughout their lives, women may have been taught to be dependent upon someone or something for their protection: their father, brother, boyfriend, husband, the police, a dog, etc. Though society has condoned and encouraged this dependency, self-defense trainers know that you must first depend upon yourself. Self-reliance is an integral element of empowerment.
- By helping women understand the enormous responsibility of making their own decisions. A woman must learn to decide when and when not to use force in self-defense. She must make her own decisions based upon what is right for her at that point in time. Educating the woman to realize that she is responsible for her own actions (or inaction's) reinforces the concept of self-dependency.
- By creating an opportunity for a woman to exert her physical strength which creates a self-realization of physical power. By helping women to experience the power of their strength in a training environment, they can begin to see themselves as effective in confrontation. A result of this self-realization of power is confidence.
