HPD Offers Rape Aggression Defense Training

Contact Monica Howard for more information at mhoward@cityofhendersonville.org or 828-697-3025.

The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. Our courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates.

Our agency is offering the R.A.D. training and recently completed our first training class.  The cost is only $10 to cover the materials in the course.
