About the Instructor:
Darlene Gentry has over twenty-five years&rsquo\; experience in instruc tion and training in martial arts\, women&rsquo\;s self-defense\, and self -defense education for the public. Darlene teaches self-defense part-time at St. Mary&rsquo\;s College of Maryland where for the past twenty years s he has instructed a course that she created called &ldquo\;Self Defense ag ainst Sexual Assault.&rdquo\; As a R.A.D. instructor\, she holds certifica tions in women&rsquo\;s basic and advanced physical defense\, key chain an d aerosol defense\, radKIDS\, Seniors defense\, and R.A.D. for men.
\n< p> \;Darlene is active in the community and has instructed women's sel f-defense courses including R.A.D. basic physical defense for St. Mary's C ounty Public Schools Adult Education\, St. Mary's County Department of Rec reation and Parks\, and Calvert County Abused Persons Program. Darlene has also conducted seminars for youth community groups coordinated by Gwen Ba nkins such as Girl Power of Southern Maryland and 100% Male. Currently she teaches a series of free courses for the public sponsored by Lexington Pa rk Baptist Church.\nWhat is the RAD System?
\n< p>The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic\, self-defe nse tactics and techniques. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive course fo r women that begins with awareness\, prevention\, risk reduction and avoid ance\, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R. A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. The course begins with awareness\, pre vention\, risk reduction and avoidance\, while progressing on to the basic s of hands-on defense training and ending with an opportunity to test skil ls during an optional simulated attack. \;Certified R.A.D. Instructor who provides students with a workbook/reference manual teaches the course. \nThe R.A.D. Systems curriculum is taught at over 1\,400 colleges a nd universities\, police departments\, local transit companies\, military bases\, women&rsquo\;s centers\, rape crisis centers\, and independents ac ross the United States and Canada.
\nBecause R.A.D. is a n international alliance\, any R.A.D. graduate from any class in the U.S. and Canada can attend another instructor&rsquo\;s class for practice\, fre e of charge\, for the rest of her life!
