Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong said the Sheriff’s Office is now enrolling women in a Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) class to take place in May.
The two day class is scheduled for May 1 & 2 from 5:30 until 9 p.m. each night at the Blount County Justice Center, located at 940 E. Lamar Alexander Parkway in Maryville. This class is open to ladies age 13 and up. No prior training is required. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Class size is limited. There is no cost for the class.
The class is designed to develop options of resistance through the RAD program, and is taught by certified instructors through the Blount County Sheriff’s Office. The dynamic, hands-on program was designed for the average woman, and basic self-defense techniques are taught in an enjoyable format.
For additional information, or to enroll for the class, please contact Deputy Magahn Mattocks at (865)223-4301.
