MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — MTSU’s popular Rape
Aggression Defense classes will continue this spring with a new five-week
session for safety-conscious women on and around the MTSU campus beginning
Wednesday, Feb. 1.
The MTSU Police Department’s
newest session of free RAD classes will run Wednesdays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
through March 1. It’s open to all female MTSU students, faculty and staff,
along with the general public.
Organizers say
that participants must attend all five Wednesday sessions to ensure that their
training is complete. Class size is very limited for this new course series
because of increasing community interest, so the department is encouraging
participants to enroll as soon as possible.
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.
MTSU’s nationally
certified RAD instructors have recently been certified to teach RAD System Aerosol
Defense Options, which means class participants also will learn about carrying
pepper spray and other aerosol self-defense variants, what to look for when
purchasing a self-defense spray and how to use it for protection.
The Rape
Aggression Defense program is designed for women age 13 and older with no
previous experience or background in physical skills training. Instructors also
can accommodate any participant’s physical impairments.
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.
