Sola Gratia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Sola Gratia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Panama City Beach is led by founder and lead instructor Ethan Jago, alongside instructors John Bauman and Ian Miller, who also serves as co-owner and kids’ coach. The academy emphasizes self-defense as the core of its Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, integrating conditioning, technique, and sparring into a curriculum designed to gradually introduce students to effective training and application. Classes at Sola Gratia cover a range of age groups and experience levels. Adult students can begin with fundamentals in gi training, progress through regular gi classes, and also participate in no-gi sessions. The academy supports ongoing practice with open mat times that welcome drop-ins. For younger students, the Little Warriors program offers a structured gi curriculum tailored to kids, split into two levels to develop skills progressively. The school operates from an accessible facility on Arnold Road and maintains a straightforward approach to instruction, focusing on practical technique and steady advancement. The presence of a homeschool program and the open invitation to experience Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu firsthand reflect the academy’s commitment to making the art approachable without unnecessary complexity.
