Defense class discusses prevention, protection

Published Nov 1, 2005

"No!" Rape Aggression Defense students shouted as they practiced kicks and punches Saturday and Sunday.The students have to vocalize the "no" so they learn to be loud during an attack, TCU Police Officer Pam Christian said.

The RAD class began with a discussion about prevention of attacks. The instructors then taught kicks and punches.

The kicks are used to keep distance from an attacker, Christian said.

Officer Walker Johnson, co-instructor of the course, said the students should not feel squeamish about going for the throat or the eyes.
