Basic Self Defense Class Description
Safe Harbor Family Martial Arts
Self Defense II and Advanced Self Defense Classes
R.A.D. - Rape Aggression Defense The Rape Aggression Defense System or R.A.D. is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques.
The RAD System is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while learning the basics of hands-on defense training. RAD is not a Martial Arts program. Our courses are taught by certified RAD instructors and provide you with a workbook / reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth. The RAD System of Physical Defense is currently being taught at many colleges and universities. The growing, wide spread acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility and unique teaching methodology. The Rape Aggression Defense System is dedicated to teaching women defense concepts and techniques against various types of assault, by utilizing easy, effective, and proven self-defense / martial arts tactics. Our system of realistic defense will provide women with a knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance.
We operate on the premise that a spontaneous violent attack will stimulate a natural desire to resist, on the part of the victim (supported by research). We educate women about "The Fights or Flight Syndrome", while showing them that enhancing their option of physical defense is not only prudents, but a necessity if natural resistance is to be effective. Safety and survival in today's world requires a definite course of action. We provide effective options by teaching women to take an active role in their own self-defense and psychological well being. Don't be victimized by fear. 1 out of every 4 college women polled was sexually assaulted during four years at college. - MS. Magazine Study on Sexual Assault and Rape. Between 1973 and 1987 (14 years), over 2.3 million women reported sexual assaults in the United States. 71% of these victims avoided being raped by taking self-protective measures. - United States Dept. of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics. In 1988, rape victims took self-protective measures in 86.7% of the cases. "Rape victims were more likely to defend themselves than assault or robbery victims." - Criminal Victimization in the United States, 1988. "In fact, the most often used strategy for avoiders (of rape) appears to have been a combination of screaming and use of physical resistance." - Bart, P. & O'Brien, P. (1985). Stopping Rape: Successful Survival Strategies. Pergamon Press, New York. Develop your options. The Rape Aggression Defense Basic Personal Defense System is a national program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques taught for women only. All courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors. The goal of R.A.D. is to provide realistic self-defense options to women, regardless of their level of physical conditioning. Students at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program, nor does it require students to be athletes in training to succeed. The R.A.D. system will provide students with the knowledge to make an educated decision about personal defense. We provide information on physical and non-physical options, as well as insight into the attacker mindset. Every student receives a manual for reference and practice. Once a student has completed a R.A.D. program, their signed manual becomes a ticket for free lifetime return and practice with any R.A.D. instructor in the US and Canada. The widespread acceptance of the R.A.D. system is due to the ease, simplicity, and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, legal defensibility, and unique teaching methodology. R.A.D. is the only self-defense program endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA).
We teach classes throughout New England.
Students will learn not only physical skills, but ways to avoid potentially dangerous situations in the first place. This can be achieved by sharpening their natural intuitive abilities as well as learning how to usetheir voice. Body language and carriage is also a large part of the training program, as criminals often 'case' their victims based on how they physically portray themselves. We also discuss and demonstrate personal weapons which can be used in the case of an attack.

Asking for Directions – A Common Lure
It is important to remember that asking for directions is a‘lure’ which is still used to abduct individuals. Being aware of this can help to keep you safe. Remember, you don’t have to stop for anyone. You can just keep walking or run away if necessary. As always, use your instinct.
