Welcome To Silat Fitrah Online Training

My mission is to give you an insight into the beautiful art of Silat Fitrah, the Malay Art of Natural Self Defence.

 

Each online training course is taught in an easy to learn format by using a teaching approach that is compulsory for all Silat Fitrah Instructors.

 

In this series I will teach you:

 

  • The movement/sequence - i.e. the Juru / Langkah;
  • The biomechanics - contraction / expansion, rhythm;
  • Pad work drills that develop power, speed and flow;
  • Applications, including proactive strikes;
  • Footwork drills;
  • Aggressive defence against multiple attackers.

 

I have been a private student of Guru Tua Chris Parker for nearly 27 years, learning the art of Silat Fitrah has completely enhanced my life. I hope in some way it also helps to enhance yours.

 


Elements of Langkah 1

‘Feet First’

 

Langkah teaches us to feel the planet with our feet and use these to drive movement.

 

It enables us to move well. This has 3 benefits:

 

  • It makes us difficult to hit.
  • It gets us to safer, more advantageous positions.
  • It increases the power of our strikes, because we are moving our body every time we strike.

 

In an edged-weapon scenario Langkah can really be the difference between life and death as it enables us to evade the attack.

 

Having been on the receiving end of a knife attack, and having been lucky enough to survive, it was only right for me to make this the first volume in The Elements of Silat Fitrah online training series.

“This really is a great video to watch as Eddie Quinn's passion and knowledge really come through on camera - it is like being in a lesson in person! The video gives an excellent introduction to this stunning art and some of the key principles of utilising the entire body - starting with the most important elements of footwork. The explanations and demonstrations were very clear and easy to understand with examples of practical application that you can then take away and expand yourself - the key is the concepts and principles that are shown rather than simply this or that technique - this makes it so much easier to then think about how you might apply the principles in your own way. A great buy and look forward to seeing more of these videos!”

“Despite the footwork initially seeming quite alien to me I started to identify some similarities with my own martial art. The clear descriptions and demonstrations allowed me to see where the benefits were and how this particular martial art works. An excellent course for beginners and experienced martial artists, I would recommend to everyone who does martial art research as part of their background work and beginners looking for an effective martial art.”

Your Instructor

Instructor Bio:

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.
