Men’s Self Defense Course
The UConn Police Department in partnership with Community Standards, the Women's Center and Office of Student Services & Advocacy are functioning together to reaffirm the goal of providing the highest level of safety and well-being to the UConn community by offering a free-of-charge men's self-defense course.
The goal of the UConn Police Men's Self-Defense course is to provide realistic self-defense options to men regardless of their physical conditioning. Participants at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength will be provided with techniques and information that can be effectively used from the first day of class. R.A.D. for men stands for Resisting Aggression with Defense and is designed to empower men to make different decisions when confronted with aggressive behavior.
This 12 hour course (4 classes) will run from March 24th through April 14th, each class is a Monday night starting at 5:30 pm ending around 8:30pm, each class will be held at UCONN's, Shippee Hall Rec Room. Participants must attend all 4 classes, which will include awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and avoidance information as well as basic self-defense skills.
