Women’s Self-Defense Class Dec. 8th

As part of Zonta International’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, Zonta Club of Medford is proud to offer an introductory class of RAD for women.

The first step of empowerment is education. This class will teach components of the RAD Systems (no physical exercises) based on risk strategies for personal safety: Risk Avoidance, Risk Reduction, Risk Awareness, and Risk Recognition.

The RAD Systems objective: to develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked. They challenge society to evolve into an existence where violence is not acceptable in daily life.
