MAY YARD OF THE MONTH

Yard of the Month

Congratulations to the Bobrows for being co-winner of the Yard of the Month for May. Molly and Greg moved into their gorgeous home at 10110 Ballinger Circle in 2005. They obviously enjoy living in Willowbridge/ Stonebridge as this is their second home in the neighborhood. They have chosen bright annuals to complement the hearty plants in their beds. Molly and Greg take most of the credit for their landscaping choices, but also credit “Pacho” for keeping their yard and shrubbery well manicured. Thank you Bobrows for keeping our neighborhood colorful.

Big Welcome to Our New Neighbors!

RAD - Rape Aggression Defense System Our RAD Instructional Objective: “To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked.”

WHAT IS RAD?

Rape Aggression Defense System is one of the best women’s self defense course available. RAD is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self defense course for women that begins with awareness, pevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive training.

We operate on the premise that a spontaneous violent attack will stimulate a natural desire to resist on the part of the victim. We educate women by enhancing their options of physical defense as being not only prudent, but also a necessity if a natural resistance is to be effective. The Rape Aggression Defense System empowers women to make their own decisions regarding self-preservation and self-defense options.

Copyright © 2012 Peel, Inc.

RAD is not a martial arts program. Our courses are taught by certified instructors and provide you with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire physical defense program for referenece and continuous personal growth.

The Rape Aggression Defense System is dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assaults by utilizing easy, effective and proven self-defense tactics. Our system of realistic defense will provide a woman with the knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance.

Free Return Policy Once a woman has graduated from the class, she becomes a lifetime member. Once completing the class, the student/alumni can go anywhere in the United States and Canada where RAD is offered and attend a class for free, providing that there is room in the class. They can attend the entire course or just a simulation to brush up on their techniques.

Willowbridge will host another RAD Class this Fall, If you are interested in this class, please contact Julie at martin@juliedubros.com
