Self-defense for women class begins April 12
All MSUM women are invited to participate in a small group and structured self-defense program that runs for five days in April, beginning Monday, April 12. Please consider participating in this great opportunity.
Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) is a nationally recognized self-defense program that teaches women to recognize, avoid and defend themselves from being physically attacked. RAD is a combination of simple, effective physical techniques specifically designed for females along with mental and emotional awareness and preparation.
Further information can be found by visiting RAD’s official website:

You do not have to bring any special skills or ability to the training. We only require that you bring a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to defending yourself.
