In reply to WENDO - Great women's self defence classes, posted by Kath on August 1, 2009, at 11:32:43
Hi All,
Several years ago, I took at RAD (Rape Regression Defense class). It is part of a national program, but taught by local police. It was 12 hours done in 4 three hour sessions and was possibly the must useful 12 hours I ever spent.
It was very physical, with lots of drills in self-defense moves, culminating in a simulated attack by one of the police officers (in a padded suit). All of us, even the tiny women, were able to use the moves to repel him.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
