Published by Laura Thomson on September 2, 2011 in General News and Student Health. 2 Comments

Sexual assault is a very real issue on college campuses across the country. In light of this, and in order to have a more proactive and aware student body, the Department of Public Safety and Security Services is offering a new program, Rape Aggression Defense for Women (R.A.D.), for all female students at Saint Louis University.

Rape Aggression Defense Systems is a premier self-defense program consisted of easy to learn, effective physical defense techniques. This dynamic, 12-hour program was designed for the average woman. It begins with awareness, risk reduction, avoidance and prevention. Basic techniques are taught by certified instructors.

Currently there are no fees for the class or class materials and there is a free lifetime return and practice policy. Classes are limited to 20 women and consist of four three-hour sessions. Participants must attend all sessions to complete the course. Modest dress is required, and shoes must have good support for lateral movement.

Rape Aggression Defense for Women
Wednesdays, Sept. 7, 14, 21 and 28; 6-9 p.m.
Mind & Body Room, Simon Rec Center
For additional information or to register for a class, contact the R.A.D. coordinator, Kim Dalton, in the Department of Public Safety and Security Services at (314) 977-3000.
