Mom’s Night Out – Women’s Self-Defense Class

Step out of your comfort zone and into your confidence! Join us for a fun, supportive, beginner-friendly **Women’s Self-Defense Class** hosted by **Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Youngsville**. Whether you’ve never stepped on a mat before or just want to learn practical skills, this class is designed with YOU in mind.

This special Moms Night Out is a collaboration between **Autism Society Acadiana**, **D.R.E.A.M.S. Foundation of Acadiana**, and **Down Syndrome Association of Acadiana**, bringing together female caregivers for an evening of learning, laughter, and connection.

### What to Expect

 Learn simple, real-world self-defense techniques in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.

 This class is designed for beginners—no experience is necessary!

 You’ll practice standing techniques and may also learn defensive movements from the ground, so come ready to move and have fun.

### What to Wear

 Comfortable athletic clothing (leggings, athletic shorts, t-shirts, workout tops, etc.)
 The class is held **barefoot on the training mats**, so your shoes won’t be needed during class.

### What to Bring

Nothing! Just bring yourself, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn something new.

### Parking

Parking is available in the gravel lot. If it fills up, additional parking is available next door at the daycare.

### RSVP Required

**Please register in advance.** Gracie Jiu-Jitsu needs an accurate headcount so they can schedule enough instructors to provide everyone with individual attention.

 **Best of all… this class is FREE for first-time participants!**

Come meet other incredible women who understand the caregiver journey, learn valuable life skills, build confidence, and enjoy an empowering evening together. We can’t wait to see you on the mat!
