RASDA Self Defence

	Different from most "traditional" self-defence courses, RASDA incorporates both passive and active techniques, ensuring that every student will not only have the skills to avoid confrontation effectively but, should the occasion arise, be able to "handle" themselves just as effectively. Classes in RASDA Self Defence Art are suitable for any adult wishing to protect themselves, their family or their friends in real-life situations. Courses can be tailored to suit anyone for every need making RASDA appropriate for any given eventuality.
