The Approach Self Protection

Really enjoyed Eddie's new addition to The Approach series. The first section helps iron out common mistakes and improves upon the hammer fist. The second gets right up in the face of the attacker and shows you how to utilise the headbutt with vicious power at extremely close range. A useful addition to anyone's self defence toolbox.

As always an excellent recap of the hammer strikes. Every time I watch and listen to Eddie and his team I learn something new. The use of the head during close quarter combat is a fantastic tool to anyone’s arsenal. I will be passing this skill on to my colleagues in the public sector. Excellent package !!!

There is a natural build up, progression and a reasoning for all we do in The Approach, that becomes clear after watching Headbutts & Hammerfists. Excellent as always! A devastating tool added to the toolbox, and when you get tips and tricks to make your already existing weapons more efficient then you get a top score from me Eddie!

Awesome! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the charismatic and very talented Eddie Quinn brings "Headbutts and Hammers". Starting with an expose of tools aimed at 'sharpening' the fundamental concepts and principles of The Approach 360, the course moves on to introduce the strategic use of close quarter weapons - headbutts, elbows and hammers etc. with explosive aggression using simple, yet very effective and natural, proximity management tools to get you into the optimum range. I highly recommend this course for beginners and experienced martial artists / self-protection persons alike. A big thumbs up.

Another excellent course from Eddie on Head butts and Hammers. His courses are great reference material filled with great techniques, body movement and solid advice. As well as answering the WHAT as regards technique/movement, he answers the very important question of WHY the individual is using a particular technique and moving in a particular way as well. The course also emphasises the need for Mind-set, Determination and Intent to make the Techniques and Training effective, elements of training that are often overlooked or undertrained by practitioners in the pursuit of techniques, regardless of Style. With 33 years of Wing Chun I would recommend Eddie’s courses to all WC practitioners. There is little, if any, adjustment to make to expand their technical repertoire, especially if they have done Dummy and Knives and the benefit for self-defence effectiveness is significant. Thanks to Eddie and kudos to the long suffering Nigel hope you guys do many more courses.

Another brilliant course from Eddie, 90mins just flew by. Some great insights to sharpen up the skill set & iron out bad habits plus the simple devastating techniques make this a great addition to The Approach.

I would highly recommend Headbutts and Hammers to all. Brutal, simple and gets the job done! Anyone interested in self preservation skills would benefit hugely from studying this film.

As usual, Eddie has some really good information to share. His knowledge of knife defence is the most realistic I have seen and you can see that he knows what he is talking about. I've followed the approach since the first DVD release and this is an excellent development of the techniques that he has shown over the years. As a wing chun practitioner, the new approach to hammers & returning to the centre line makes a lot of sense and should be easy to add to my normal style.

I have recently completed Headbutts and Hammers. After completing the Approach 360 this is an excellent addition to the library. Eddie’s unique approach gets the message across, enhancing the knowledge base and sharpening skillsets. Great principles, ideas and drills that will add to anyone’s arsenal, martial artist or self-protection practitioner. Ed Dunne - Wolverhampton

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!

A real masterclass here, covering real and devastatingly effective tools to protect yourself if the need ever arose. Explanations are clear and simple, enabling anyone, regardless of experience to become very proficient very quickly with these principles. Lots of really great content packed in to an hour and half - 5 stars and thoroughly recommended for anyone, whether you have trained in martial arts for years or have no experience at all. Its all explained and demonstrated so well!

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.
