“The depth of knowledge and the practical approach to both blade and empty-hand principles in this course are nothing short of extraordinary. I found that Eddie Quinn bridges the gap between blade combat and empty hand, showing the connections and common principles. The real-world relevance of this course is undeniable, especially in today's uncertain environment when you might only get one chance !! The movement from working with the knife to powerful heavy hitting demonstrates the insight this man has built up over the years, and yet he makes it relatable for anyone to use, whatever their experience. What sets this course apart though is the emphasis on mindset. Eddie’s demonstrations of changing and shifting mental states and awareness is invaluable. This isn't about learning techniques—it's about understanding the psychology of dealing with real world situations and how you can train yourself to ramp up and down your mental states. The principles and insights shared are profound, offering you the tools to not only look after yourself physically but also to cultivate the right mindset for any high-stress situation. ”

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 37 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.
