Why Learn Silat Fitrah Ground Fighting?

Silat is a southeast Asian martial arts system that only deals with life & death combat.

There are many sport-based martial arts that teach grappling, but very few actually deal with the realities of what to do if you end up on the ground being kicked, punched, stomped or stabbed. 

Students of Silat were forced to develop these skills because their culture carries knives at all times and group assaults often happen.

It was therefore necessary to learn how to fight on the ground and get up quickly in order to survive.

Let's be plain this is not the same as BJJ or Judo grappling course. This is a complete introduction to a lethal ground fighting system focused on survival.

Silat teaches you how to hit hard from any position and how to deal with the threat of multiple attackers whilst being on the ground.

In this introduction to Silat Fitrah Ground Fighting, I teach a range of simple and effective techniques that can be applied from the most common positions you may find yourself on the ground.

The course consists of 13 easy-to-follow lessons you can watch on your phone, laptop or tablet, whenever and wherever you like.

Techniques covered include:

  • How to strike "from the knees" using powerful elbows, punches and headbutts

  • How to use the knee/shin/foot to strike and unbalance your attacker, regardless of size or angle

  • How blades can teach us multiple strikes, even whilst empty-handed

  • How to launch devastating kicks from the ground

  • How to defend yourself effectively whilst on your back, sat down, or on your knees

Get started today and discover how to move and strike powerfully and effectively whilst on the ground!

“The introduction was well shown, (from different angles) and explained, so we knew what to look for when practicising the moves. I practice Mande Muda Pencak Silat and Maphilindo Silat (Guro Dan Inosanto), although I enjoy it very much, it is a bit flowery and a lot of the movements are not necessary. Top marks, 5 stars for its simplicity, directness and most important of all, for its economy of motion. ”

“ Just finished the Silat Fitrah Groundfighting movie from Eddie Quinn. Excellent, very good progression and build-up. Easy to follow and what I especially like; it is Silat for the modern age against a realistic opponent and not against another Silat practitioner like many other Silat instruction films out there are based on. A lot of the material in the course is against standing opponents where you yourself have landed on the ground in some form, a realistic outcome in a real life scenario. Don’t hesitate, you will not regret!”

“Another great course from Eddie introducing Silat Fitrah ground fighting. As someone with very little experience of ground fighting this course built from the basics and added layers to those basics as the course progressed so that by the end you really have a good understanding. The principles behind the movements were also constantly reinforced so you can begin to think and explore the movements for yourself. As an experienced teacher Eddie makes it all seem simple and it's filmed so you really feel like your in class with him. Thoroughly recommend this course. ”

“This curriculum has a lot of prinicples that are highly beneficial to understand, regardless of your previous competence in ground fighting. Whether you want to have a rational way of avoiding the ground in a self defense scenario, or you are an experienced grappler who wants to broaden your perspective and prepare for nasty scenarious that might occur on the street (multiple opponents, attacks with weapons etc), these videos are highly useful. ”

Who Am I?

Meet The Instructor...

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.
