Welcome To Silat Fitrah Online Training

Welcome

My name is Eddie Quinn and 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 in this series 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 Jurus / 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 Silat Fitrah - Elbow Strikes


‘If The Elbows Could They Would’

 

The elbow form teaches us to deliver a wide range of elbow strikes in all directions, and how to defend against incoming attacks and clear barriers.

 

The focus is on contraction and expansion, understanding elbow range, and the development of devastating attacks.

 

The elbows are 2 of what we call the ‘Big 4’ in Silat Fitrah.

 

In a close-range self defence situation, elbow strikes are an ideal response.  That is why learning how to strike hard with elbows is a must for all of my students, young and old.

“Silat Fitrah, and The Approach, are two of the most devastatingly effective self-defence methodologies available: works of pure genius. Guru Eddie Quinn teaches with a clarity, and passion, that ensures everybody can learn the materials being taught. Most of all you're being taught by a true gentleman who exudes integrity in everything he does. The price attached to Guru Quinn's courses are way too low for the quality instruction on offer...but his loss is our gain! I can only recommend any instruction, by Guru Eddie Quinn, in the strongest possible terms. ”

“Excellent video. Packed, stacked and racked with info. It's well structured and the different perspectives of demo, pads and applications will help to drill in the lessons. Really liked the emphasis on how one elbow helps to clear the defense before the other arrives with the strike. If you are thinking about the purchase, don't think, buy the course, you won't regret it. ”

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.
