We teach self defense. Rape defense is a subset of self-defense. The RAD class taught by the MIT Campus Police is an effective rape prevention course developed by RAD Systems. RAD, as taught by the MIT Campus Police is a 12-hour, women-only self-defense course. It is NOT a martial art. If you want a more thorough, well-rounded self-defense education, we recommend taking Jiu Jitsu. We do not want to conflict with the MIT Campus Police by offering an official, specialized, rape-defense class… but by learning Jiu Jitsu, you will learn self defense (including defense against rape). American Jiu Jitsu at MIT instructors have given rape defense classes at Harvard, Simmons, and the NY Dojo.
