Nationally certified instructors offering radKIDS, RAD Basic Self Defense for Women, RAD for Men, RAD for Seniors and Weapons Defense training.

RAD Systems is an internationally respected alliance of certified instructors dedicated to empowering individuals through community based self defense education.  RAD programs are designed to develop and enhance the options of self defense so they may become viable considerations to the person who is attacked and to help individuals feel empowered in their own safety. The R.A.D. Systems of Self Defense offer several different programs in order to provide realistic options for each population: women, children, teens, men and seniors. Each of these programs includes educational components comprised of discussion and development of physical resistive strategies. All programs are facilitated by certified R.A.D. Instructors and supported by a network of dedicated professionals who honor one another’s students through our unique Lifetime Return and Practice Policy.

 

Our Mission

Self defense is about knowledge and confidence - not physical strength and everyone deserves to feel empowered in their own safety. Many women were brought up being told that someone or something else would keep them safe- their father, brother, boyfriend or husband, a dog, a whistle, pepper spray etc. but knowing that if push comes to shove- you have within yourself the physical skills to keep you safe – that’s effective self defense training. That kind of personal empowerment is the hallmark of a practiced plan of action and it is what changes the “what if…” generated by our fears into “if that happened than I could….” That’s what being Empowered in ME is all about.


Our Girl Scout troop loved the demo! We can’t wait to go through the program. I am so thankful a program like this is out there!
