Teaching with Purpose with Savannah Doss

In this episode, Savannah Doss, instructor-certified through Gracie University and active community member at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Virginia Beach, shares her passion for spreading jiu-jitsu both on and offline. We dive into what it means to teach with empathy, the lessons learned from filming her own training, and how social media can be a bridge for connection rather than comparison. Savannah opens up about overcoming challenges, staying consistent, and how the Gracie philosophy of self-defense shapes everything she does.

Whether you’re seasoned or just starting out, this conversation will remind you that progress isn’t just about belts, it’s about showing up, growing, and helping others along the way.
