Biography

Jeremy Skinner is an Australian grappler who built an international no-gi career on leg attacks, and who found the sport by looking sideways. He was a teenager in a karate class, he told the clothing brand Scramble in 2021, when a jiu-jitsu session started up on the mat alongside. "That looks cool," he remembered thinking. He had joined Absolute MMA as a purple belt, and in March 2022 the interview series BJJ Morning Chokes placed him at the gym's St Kilda branch in Victoria. Asked what set the team apart in no-gi, he said it had been the first in the country to train the way professional squads in Brazil did. Lachlan Giles, the coach who gave him his black belt, had spent a spell at Alliance in São Paulo, and had carried the methods back with him; from there, Skinner said, the gym worked by looking at how successful high-level competitors and teams operated and building that into a style that was theirs. What he credited for his own progress was not mat time alone. A large share of his development came from study, he said in 2021: watching footage, writing things down, then testing what he found. Asked in the same interview about heroes in jiu-jitsu, he said he did not believe in them, called it perhaps a cynical answer, and added that it is worth remembering everybody is human. A year later, asked about conditioning, he admitted that developing physical attributes had never been something he emphasized in training. Jiu-jitsu was, before anything else, a pursuit of skill, and skill was the attribute he thought defined an athlete more than any other. In the same interview he was asked what he does to get his motivation back when progress starts to feel flat. He answered by going back to white belt, and an obsession with Paulo and Joao Miyao: what he took from them was how heavily they leaned on discipline and persistence. The conclusion he drew was that growth in the sport runs on discipline and not on motivation, which comes and goes, and that lasting improvement is a matter of lasting habit. He was careful to add that plenty of people force themselves through jiu-jitsu when they do not want to, and that if you have no intention of pushing yourself, that is fine too. On Techniqly he released an instructional about getting out of leg entanglements rather than applying them, under the title Fundamental Leg Entanglements, Escapes, and Heelhooks. Jits Magazine reviewed it in February 2021: full-length, priced at £40, and split in two halves. The first covered straight leg entanglements -- the standard and outside ashi garami; the second covered cross leg entanglements, meaning 50/50 and the saddle. Almost all of it was about defending, escaping and then working out into a better position against an opponent who is good at leglocks, and he put the material together by first laying out what the attacker is after. The reviewer, who already described him as known for his own skill in the area, called him an eloquent and detailed teacher who kept coming back to the basics of staying safe. He was still a brown belt then, training under Craig Jones and Lachlan Giles. Quantum Entanglement, which he was discussing over a year after that review, ran the other way. What he wanted from it, he told BJJ Morning Chokes, was an up-to-date way of handling leg entanglements and leglocks, built on fundamentally sound skills, so that a viewer came out of it holding a strategy that could be used in competition straight away. The summary of his Sonny Brown Breakdown episode that August frames it as a joining-up problem: entanglements of different kinds are usually taught as separate techniques that never interact, and he wanted specific examples to show how they fit together as a system. The summary also notes that he acknowledged the idea had been tried before. The record shows what he actually finished with. Of the ten submission wins FloGrappling lists for him, eight are heel hooks -- six inside, two outside -- and the other two are a knee bar and a guillotine. His own list of five favorite techniques opened with the rear strangle and the inside heel hook, then kata gatame, K guard, and finally the bodylock pass. One of them, the inside heel hook, accounts for six of those ten wins on its own. Asked in 2021 what his week looked like, he answered that he was by then giving more days to teaching. A typical day held two sessions, taught or trained, with technique study between them. He named coaching as where he meant to put his weight in the long term, building up and supporting aspiring competitors. The summary published with his Sonny Brown episode sets out the test he applied to anyone whose jiu-jitsu he might study: is this person successful -- he gauged that by the number of people they had helped -- and has the success reappeared in other hands? It was the reason he worked through the Danaher squad. A group of different body types and weights succeeding on shared techniques tells you the techniques travel, rather than the man. Two quotations printed with that episode carry the rest of the argument. Because teaching methods are improving, he said, it has become possible to improve somebody deliberately, where before the methods were thin and people who got good largely did so on their own. And what John Danaher really changed, in his reading, was the language: the vocabulary around technique improved dramatically, which made it far easier to tell somebody precisely what they are doing. The same summary records him arguing that teams were becoming more important than individuals in competitive grappling, since a squad can identify one student's mistake in competition and upgrade everybody from it, and that the difference between professional and hobbyist was starting to show there, even if nothing stopped a hobbyist from training by the same methods. Asked what one position a grappler should add to their game, he named half guard rather than anything involving legs, and wanted real competency in it from both top and bottom. He argued that for someone starting out there are fewer moving parts in half guard than in open guard, and it hands a beginner some control in the part of the sport that is otherwise the most chaotic. For higher belts he suggested the front headlock, on the same structural reasoning he applies to legs: like leglocks, it can be reached from almost anywhere and puts the opponent straight into a dilemma between strangles and go-behinds. The quality he named in his own coaches was the willingness to listen and take feedback, which he described as a skill he has had to work at persistently and keep reminding himself of, in a sport where an inflated ego comes easily even though the amount there is to know is impossible to hold. The man asking the questions had been to one of his seminars in early 2021, and wrote that Skinner takes a question in and thinks it through rather than reaching for a stock answer, and that in coaching he reads each team mate as a whole puzzle instead of handing everyone the same approach. What is on record runs back further than the leglocks do. The oldest entry FloGrappling holds for him is from March 2014: a decision over T. Soares at the Pan Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship. His first run at an ADCC World Championships place came in 2018, and it ended in the opening round. The name traveled through two British promotions. At Polaris 10 in May 2019 he finished Kamil Wilk with an inside heel hook on the undercard, at a catchweight of 68 kilograms; he took a decision over F. Rosenthal at GrappleFest 5 that June, lost to K. Ruotolo by darce choke at GrappleFest 7 in November, and a week after that heel-hooked E. O'flanagan at Polaris 12. On 29 March 2021 Jits Magazine reported that Giles had made him and his team mate Daniel Schuardt black belts, at the first grading Giles had held in over a year. The report called the two of them among the most successful brown belt competitors Absolute MMA had produced, and put his combined record across those two promotions at three wins against one defeat. At the ADCC trials for Asia and Oceania on 19 June 2022 he submitted every one of his five opponents at 66kg: three by inside heel hook, one by guillotine, and David Stoilescu by knee bar in the final. Both men had arrived at that final with four submissions apiece, FloGrappling reported, which turned it into a leglock exchange; Skinner found an angle on the knee bar early in overtime and the run stayed unbroken. Jits Magazine noted that few of the pre-event favorites won their divisions that weekend, and that he was one of them. Stoilescu took second and Ariel Tabak third. He reached the quarter-finals at the World Championships that September, taking a decision over AJ Agazarm, and went out to Gabriel Sousa on a triangle. Between the trials and the Worlds, where he trained changed. In June he was still identified as Schuardt's Absolute MMA team mate; by August the Sonny Brown Breakdown reported that his black belt had come from Giles, but that he had lately started to train and compete out of Sydney West Martial Arts, under Luke Martin. It is the last dated account of where he was training. In November he was in Lombard, Illinois, heel-hooking Max Hanson in forty seconds at Midwest Finishers 10. FloGrappling has one bout for him in 2023, and it is a defeat: A. Williams caught him in a triangle at Subversion Equinox in March. In 2024 he moved up to 77kg, and the preview for that year's Asia and Oceania Trials called it the biggest division of the event; eighty competitors were up for consideration, and it picked Skinner and Levi Jones-Leary as the two standouts, while wondering whether the size of his opponents would trouble a man who had come up from under 66kg. FloGrappling has him winning five there, four of them by heel hook, and losing one on points to Jones-Leary, who took the division; Skinner finished second, with Ethan Cannon third. He was back at the World Championships that August anyway, in at 77kg on an invitation rather than through the Trials, and lost on points to V. Rocha. Two years after that he entered the heaviest division there is. Jits Magazine, in its preview of the 2026 Trials for Asia and Oceania, called his entry in the over 99kg bracket a surprise, pointing out that the same man had taken gold at under 66kg four years earlier and a medal at under 77kg in 2024, and that he was almost certainly going to be the lightest man out there; FloGrappling's own entry list put him in the same division. On 21 June 2026 he finished third, behind Belal Etiabari and Hayden Bailey.
