R.A.D. (RAPE AGGRESSION DEFENSE) FOR WOMEN NEW

R.A.D. combines personal safety strategies used to reduce the risk of being victimized with practical self-defense techniques that can stun, neutralize and ultimately defeat an attacker. R.A.D. is for women of any background or level of physical ability. The culmination of the course is a dynamic simulation intended to give the participants the opportunity to use the knowledge and techniques they have learned in realistic scenarios against “aggressors” wearing special protective equipment.

Lynn has been practicing Reiki for over five years and received her Master/ Teacher status in 2004. Lynn is trained in Usui Reiki and has authentic Usui lineage.
