“Two of these programs are part of the national RAD® self-defense educational series. All three are taught by specially trained instructors,” says Debbie Millar, RN, Director of Community Wellness and Engagement at Penn Medicine Princeton Health. “Each program is tailored to the specific audience and provides participants with personal empowerment and invaluable practical self-defense skills.”
RADkids® is a multi-session course for children between the ages of four and seven, designed to teach the young participants how to recognize, avoid, and, if necessary, escape an unsafe situation.
“The class is an invaluable tool to teach children to feel and be safe,” says Millar.
RAD Women® is open to women (teenagers through seniors) of all fitness levels. The 12-hour multi-session class helps women become more aware of potential dangers and teaches physical defense techniques. Women who have completed the RAD Women course can move on to a more advanced second program, Weapons Self-defense for Women. The six-hour program focuses on protecting yourself against attack from someone with a knife or gun.
