Free Self-Defense Classes begin June 8

RAD, Rape Aggression Defense, is a nationally recognized program designed to teach realistic self-defense techniques to women. The classes build educational and physical skills, which can be used in the practice of self-defense, through emphasis on simple strikes, kicks, blocks, and defensive posture.
The instructional objective of RAD is to develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations of the woman who is attacked. This 12-hour comprehensive program seeks to empower women to be able to reduce their likelihood of becoming a victim, while teaching them the skills to survive should they be caught in such a situation.
Space is limited to 20 participants per course. To register, please call 954-346-1227 or e-mail pdjl@coralsprings.org. The Coral Springs Public Safety Building is located at 2801Coral Springs Drive.
