Ep. 404: Cross-Grip Passing, feat. Rosie Miller & Jeff Shaw

Jeff Shaw is guest hosting this week, and he's joined by Rosie Miller! Rosie is a jiu-jitsu educator known for explaining complicated positions in plain language. In this episode, Rosie walks through how the cross-grip pass works, and why she now teaches it starting from the tripod position instead of the entry. Topics include: collapsing the knee shield, counterattacks like the omoplata, gi versus no-gi differences, and teaching with games.Follow Rosie on Instagram:https://instagram.com/rosierollzRosie's instructionals, YouTube and everything else:https://rosierollz.comFollow Jeff on Instagram:https://instagram.com/jeffshawbjjRosie's seminar at Bellingham BJJ on September 12, 2026:https://bellinghambjj.comRosie's seminar at Framework BJJ Seattle on September 13, 2026:https://frameworkseattle.comResources discussed in this episode:Mastering Crazy Dog Passing, by Isaac Doederlein:https://doederleinjj.com/mastering-crazy-dog-passingOmoplatapalooza: The Omoplata System by Bellingham BJJ:https://youtu.be/WwWmjmgdL5YMental models discussed in this episode:Phases of Passinghttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/phases-of-passingWaypointshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/waypointsHead Positionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/head-positionGrips Dictate Positionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/grips-dictate-positionPredictable Responseshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/predictable-responsesElbow-Knee Connectionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/elbow-knee-connectionTechnique Chaininghttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/technique-chainingConstraints-Led Approachhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/constraints-led-approachFunnelinghttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/funneling⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of jiu-jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!
