Defense classes offered to women for credit

A basic rape aggression defense (RAD) class is being offered to female UW-Oshkosh students for one credit during the second seven weeks of the fall semester.

The class is a self-defense program that teaches a variety of techniques to use in threatening situations.

Liz Cannon, lecturer of women’s studies, director of the LGBTQ Resource Center and Social Justice Director, is one of the instructors.

Cannon said she has taught the class for six or seven years and was chosen as an instructor partially because she has a black belt in Tae kwon do.

Cannon explained that the class shows women how to look for warning signs to keep themselves out of a situation that could result in violence.
