How many people are in each
class?
While there is no set amount of students for each class, we do limit class
size to ensure that each participant feels comfortable and is able to receive
proper instruction.
Do I have to attend all three
classes?
Participation in all three classes is required for you to receive your pass
to any future RAD classes held throughout the United States, free of charge.
Do I get to hit someone in
a padded suit?
Yes. You will get the opportunity to practice on one of the instructors who
will be dressed in a well-padded suit. This is called simulation training
and is a valuable part of the class, as it gives students a chance to see
how their newly learned skills work in real life situations. This part of
the class is optional, but is encouraged.
Do I need to be an athlete to participate?
Not at all. The class is designed so that the average person can take it.
We instruct people to go at their own pace and we never ask you to do something
that you can't do, or do not want to do. There is NO age limit. We have had
women 14 - 63 years old!
