MURFREESBORO — Safety-conscious women on
and around the MTSU campus can have a RAD summer — and future — by taking the
MTSU Police Department’s newest five-week session of free Rape Aggression
Defense classes.
This summer 2016
course is set each Monday beginning June 6 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and is open
to all female MTSU students, faculty and staff, along with the general public.
The course
concludes Tuesday, July 5, after one Monday off for the July 4 holiday.
Organizers say that participants must attend all five sessions to ensure that
they receive the complete training.
The Rape
Aggression Defense System is a comprehensive program of realistic defense
tactics and techniques for women that emphasizes awareness, prevention, risk
reduction and avoidance and progresses to the basics of hands-on defense
training.
Nationally
certified RAD instructors teach MTSU’s free course.
The program is
designed for women age 13 and older with no previous experience or background
in physical skills training. Instructors will work to accommodate any physical
impairment a participant may have.
Class size is
limited for this new summer course, so the MTSU Police Department is
encouraging interested parties to enroll as soon as possible.
Participants
should email their names and contact information to rad@mtsu.edu. Instructors will call or email participants with more
details about enrollment and the class location.
For more
information about MTSU’s RAD classes, send an email to rad@mtsu.edu.
