Family Focused Martial Arts Community
Family Jiu Jitsu Program – A Great bonding experience
At Southern Soul Academy, we believe martial arts is best when it’s shared. Families across Navarre, Mary Esther, and the Emerald Coast train with us because we offer something special: a family-focused martial arts community.
From kids as young as 2 years old to parents and working professionals, everyone can find their place on our mats. While each program is designed for a specific age group, together they create a true family martial arts experience where the whole household can grow stronger, more confident, and more connected.

Come To Southern Soul Academy To Grow And Learn Together
At Southern Soul Academy, Jiu Jitsu is a family affair! We offer classes for kids, teens, and adults so the whole family can train, grow, and have fun together. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, parents can jump on the mats alongside their kids, building confidence, fitness, and valuable self-defense skills while creating memories that last a lifetime. With a welcoming environment, expert instruction, and schedules designed to make training together easy, Jiu Jitsu quickly becomes more than an activity—it’s a shared tradition that strengthens bonds on and off the mats.
Families all over Mary Esther are benefiting by:
Martial Arts Should Always Be A Family Event
Family bonding is an integral part of practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Sharing the experience of learning and practicing family BJJ creates a sense of unity and camaraderie among family members. As they work together on techniques, spar, and overcome challenges, they not only deepen their connection but also enhance their communication skills and trust. Through shared goals and accomplishments, the family becomes a tight-knit team, supporting and encouraging each other both on and off the mats. BJJ is not just a martial art, but a transformative experience that brings families closer and enriches their relationships.
