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.
