Marietta plans women’s self-defense classes
The Marietta Police Department is offering 12-hour Rape Aggression Defense (R.A.D.) classes, starting Feb. 21 for women and April 17 for high school female seniors.
The location will be the Marietta Police Department, 240 Lemon St.
R.A.D. is a simple yet effective self-defense course for only women of all fitness levels to help them successfully learn options to escape attacks.
The R.A.D. program will be delivered during four three-hour classes.
Participation in all four classes is necessary to complete the course.
Participants must be 14 years of age, and a parent or female guardian must attend with anyone 16 and under.
No jewelry is allowed during class, and gym attire is recommended.
