Hello, friends. If you are in the Greater Houston Area, this is a great program recommended by one of our members. The October session appears to be full (seems to fill up quickly), but do give the link a click and learn a bit about it. The post states that spots may open up closer to the date, and they hold sessions throughout the year.
"If interested in attending a RAD class in the future, please contact Sgt. Ferguson at [email protected]"
**UPDATE: The October 2026 R.A.D. class is now completely full. We appreciate all the interest shown by our community and look forward to hosting more of these programs in the future.**
Registration is currently open for the Tomball Police Department's R.A.D. (R**e Aggression Defense) class coming up in October.
Tomball's R.A.D. class is a three-day program led by certified instructors who focus on teaching realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. This comprehensive course begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and avoidance, progressing to the fundamentals of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program; rather, it is designed to equip women with practical self-defense strategies.
This program is all about empowering women with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about resistance, emphasizing safety and survival in today's world.
October's course will take place at the Tomball Public Works Administrative Building, located at 501 James St., on Oct. 12, 13, and 14, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. To find out more information and register, please visit tomballtx.gov/909/RAD.
