HOW GOOD IS THE RAID SYSTEM

RAID is the missing link for developing personal security on the volatile streets of today.

How good is it as Self Defence ?

As the founder and designer of the Rapid Action Initiated Defence (R.A.I.D) self defence system, I would automatically say the system is excellent. However I am always asked the question, how good is RAID? My answer is if I cannot in 6 days or over 10 months help change your belief system and give you confidence, then I should be looking for a new career. Throughout my world experiences and the numerous qualifications and training courses I have completed in the military and civilian life, the one thing I have noticed and that is when I face a potentially violent confrontation my natural body instincts or survival mechanism takes over and all the technical based systems I have learnt are now forgotten or lost in the dark reaches of my thinking brain. That is why we don’t teach techniques as they require you to think about them and become perishable skills as the stress increases.

What People say about RAID !

The following statements are from students that have completed the RAID program:

“It was a very rewarding experience and if I had to sum it up briefly I would say; in life as most things are given a monetary value, then the resulting change in personal outlook and thinking bought about by this course is priceless. I don’t mean that if it had a million dollar price tag on it that it would be a marketable product but I refer to the fact that the end result is something money can’t buy. It is not only a quality self defence course but also provides better team building and personal awareness than many courses that specialize in these areas could.”

Mr Ryan – 4 day intensive

“Im a single mum that follows a career path of business, this leaves me little or no time for any martial arts orientated training due to other commitments. After completing the intensive RAID course with the 2 days home study and 4 days over a weekend I found it easy to complete. As an educated business women I was a little sceptical of the course as I could not believe that you could learn an effective system in just 4 days. How wrong was I, I can say that the instruction was above reproach and that they were more like life coaches in that their experience about self defence is only a fraction of their overall personal security knowledge. I now feel very confident and know deep down that if I was not aware or caught in a potential situation I have the conflict management systems in place to de-escalate the situation whilst remaining in a strategic defensive position. Thank you ever so much.”

Miss May – 4 day intensive

“A no nonsense professional approach to self defence that created a confidence level that went beyond my expectations 10/10”

Mr Dunn – 4 day intensive

“Having no formal martial arts experience i found RAID to be an ideal system to learn, as my job puts me in various hostile situations i needed something that was both effective and relevant and RAID provided this. The instruction was second to none and was delivered in a friendly but professional environment with the instructors possessing very in depth knowledge about the subject and system. I would recommend RAID to anyone who feels they would benefit from this type of self defence and conflict management training whether as an individual or as a corporate customer ensuring their staff are prepared for any possible conflict situation. It has given me the confidence and skills to deal with a variety of situations whether on the streets or as part of my job and it is something that i will keep up to date with. I also found myself being able to progress with RAID as opposed to other martial arts systems as it uses the bodies natural reflex system, this made it very appealing…”

Mr Kent – close protection program

“I first saw R.A.I.D while deployed over seas, when i was told i could be taught to a competent level in self defence in a short amount of time i didn't believe it. This system is so effective in only a couple of sessions my confidence grew and i realised that this will one day possibly save my life or my mates. My unit operates in small teams often isolated from others; i told them about the R.A.I.D system and arranged a day training for the lads. The reaction was amazing, and the unit has sacked all previous methods and training and taken on the R.A.I.D system. The results which were seen very quickly when on a role play training exercise the lads and quite quickly got them selves out of a possible sticky situation through using this system. Not bad with one days training. The best thing about R.A.I.D is you do not have to learn any arty arty wax on wax of stuff. By just integrating a few simple concepts with your natural flinch mechanism you will be sorted.”
