The Approach Self Protection

A very good new course Eddie! Getting your courses are just like receiving a new magical jigsaw puzzle. Even with few pieces you can change the picture. A little bit embarrassing , but it open my eyes for applications I should have seen myself, but happy to see them now👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Eddie does it again! "Where the head goes the body follows." Control your opponent. Not just the basics, but all of the extra ways to hit and attack whilst taking an aggressor down. Great tips on how to practice at home on your own and perfect the skills. Buy it you won't be disappointed!

What a course! Guru Eddie brilliantly ties the action of the arms with the earlier amazing footwork course meaning we now see throws, head control and up close striking with many, many ideas and tips to enhance your practice. Who would have thought a basketball could add so much value to your practice! Silat gold from Guru Eddie!

This is a great follow up of previous courses and concept, focusing on highly efficient takedowns. Eddie yet again does a great job of explaining how moving your legs, transfering your weight and following with your arms can lead to functional takedowns as well as powerful strikes. In fact, the explanation of how key techniques a striking art naturally leads to takedowns when the distance and setting is a right, is an eye opener. Likewise, learning why footwork drills from previous courses is fully applicable and very important when learning these takedowns, is explained very convincingly. Highly interesting and nicely produced.

I became a fan of Eddie Quinns work from “The Approach “ courses. Then as he started adding the Silat courses I wanted to know more. This is just another great course and he makes it very easy to learn. The techniques/principles in this course translate too all styles of martial arts and self defense training. Also these Silat courses are great add ons to “The Approach “ courses. Thanks again sir and cant wait til next one! Matt Gallagher

I absolutely loved this teaching and course on Head control to takedown! Eddie is an amazing teacher and he still keeps inspiring me by sharing the knowledge and wisdom from his Silat Fitrah. I have started to practice my footwork more or less daily now after I started learning from this teaching! Can’t wait to travel again to learn from Eddie! It’s all starting to make sense now, and reminds me the importance of the footwork and moving myself safely being aware of the internal. Thank you so much, Guru Eddie! I will highly recommend this to my network.

Wanted to take the time to write a review of this course by Guru Eddie. I have majority of his previous Silat Fitrah material as I am a big fan of the system, and he did it again with this course. What I really enjoy about this and all of them is he connects the dots to all the prior material. He reviews the importance of how everything starts with the feet, and how important it is to concentrate on moving ourselves first, feet to core to big four followed with the head and leading with the breath is the principal he really wants you to understand. From there he connects the hand/arm movements and the motions themselves come alive. Nothing is wasted, every movement can tell a story, and you start to realize what the movement does determines what it is. I really enjoyed this course as it just builds on the rest. Looking forward to your future courses in Silat Fitrah🙏 Mike Jolly

Excellent content and quality instruction as always from Eddie Quinn. Every course is suitable for all open minded martial artists in my opinion regardless of style/art you will gain something as I have in his courses. I highly recommend this and any others by this gentleman A1.

Guru Eddie always over delivers and that I think is largely due to the kind of human being he is. This course (like all his material) covers the rationale/logic that makes a system and then gives you the tools, i.e. techniques that can form a basic foundation of application and then you will automatically move on from there. Amazing content, amazing videography.

Eddie demonstrates with enthusiasm and energy; as always he conveys the reality of fighting. The essence of the fighting arts is efficient movement, being balanced and in the right place. This course reinforces this and places great emphasis on training safety, which for this subject is imperative; innovation with training aids included.

I have watched Head control to Takedown several times now and every time, I see and learn something new. Eddie’s knowledge and way of teaching is inspirational. 10/10!

A great, practical course. Eddie Quinn demonstrates some excellent footwork drills to enable you to get close enough to then quickly control your opponent's head, Absolutely nothing is held back here, so the takedowns naturally follow.
