This is the nexus of function, simplicity and flow. This course really teaches body movement. It is about how to simply apply the most effective body weapons under pressure. And, how to use your whole body as an impact tool.

I've been doing martial Arts for 40 years and every few years I look at martial arts other than my own. One of my long term students is training with Eddie and pointed me towards his online courses. The thing that struck me about the Approach was it was all things you'd done but packaged into a Simple, Direct and Effective training course that focuses on the important elements of self defence. You can loose sight of the basics and the translate of these to use, when you train and your skill level has increased BUT the Approach brings you back to the reason you are doing your own particular martial art in the first place and puts it into context, for those needing to keep it real. I would recommend Eddie's training material to beginners and seasoned martial artists alike.

Simple, direct, energetic approach (excuse pun) to self-protection. It brought back memories of my experiences of training The Approach in the U.K., and was indeed a welcome refresher. Eddie is the man. Another 5-star performance deserving of all accolades.

Eddie delivers more self preservation gold in this course, the first 30 minutes alone is well worth the cost of the course - Eddie gives a masterclass to improve your hammer strikes, your footwork and your mindset in order to allow you to develop the most powerful strikes. Then Eddie adds the head, this fits in so well with the Approach 360 strikes and is a natural addition, allowing you to cover an additional range between the hammers and elbows. Eddie also always points out the areas where you can develop space to make an escape - or how to claim the space to strike when needed. Possibly Eddie's best course yet!

This is excellent material. A perfect addition to any other system, or just on it's own. This is a life's training and knowledge distilled into easy to follow and replicate bite sized modules. It's the single most effective and quickly learnable self defence I have seen in many years of training. Give it ago. You won't regret it.

This course was absolutely amazing the way. It was put across to the students/viewers. Mr Quinn is a great instructor with a addictive manner about him. The only problem I have is I do not have a training partner so at the moment I’m training solo, but at the end of the day the course is so easy to follow. A definite 5 STAR Thanks Eddie keep up the amazing work and hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you.

Instructor Bio

Founder of The Approach Self Protection Method Eddie Quinn

Welcome! I'm Eddie Quinn, a professional martial arts teacher. I’m based in my hometown of Solihull, England, although I teach martial arts and self defence across the entire globe.

My martial arts journey began 39 years ago... On night of the 23rd November 1984, I attempted to defend three girls who were being attacked at a bus stop.

It resulted in me getting stabbed a total of six times. The right ventricle in my heart, my liver, bowel, gallbladder, head and thigh were all punctured in the attack. Thankfully I survived.

During recovery, my heart surgeon recommended I take up a Combat Sport. I took his advice and began my journey to seek out the best martial arts teachers from around the world.

This journey not only rebuilt my life; it saved my life. I believe that my calling in life is to share with others the benefits of the Martial Arts I have studied and mastered over the years.

I've taught Counter Terrorist Units, Police Officers, Anti-Poaching Units, Elite Military, and members of Bodyguard Detachments for Royals, Presidents and Prime Minsters. The Approach Method I founded was voted System of the Year at The British Martial Arts Awards 2016 and 2017, and I also won Reality Instructor of the Year 2017.

In 2019 I was voted ‘Martial Arts Man of the Year’. Many great titles, but it all sums down to this:

Great teachers change the world for the better by helping others improve their lives, their aspirations and their outcomes. I hope I can do that for you.
