The Approach Self Protection

“I flew all the way from South Africa to do The Approach Level 1 Instructor course some 5 years ago with the great charismatic Eddie Quinn. It was money well spent then. Investing in the Approach 360 Course was supposed to be a refresher, but it was more than that for me. The innovative tweeks that Eddie made to 'the already super effective self-protection system' just brought The Approach to a new level. Lucille is a 'she devil'!!!! - unleash her and there will be total destruction. The small investment for The Approach 360 was another great investment. Great job brother. 5 out of 5.”

“I heard of Eddie Quinn and The Approach System through training with Nigel Anthony, Steve Maycock, Jas Shargill and a number of individuals. Not having had the privilege to meet or train with Eddie I was informed of The Approach 360 on-line course which he had developed. I bought the course and have been going through it. I am not in the best of shapes nor a great martial artist just a normal individual interested in this area, I have found the course to deliver exactly what it states. This course definitely benefit anyone whether you are like me a novice or an extremely experienced martial artist. It is easy to understand, the principles and techniques demonstrated are easy to pick up as the system uses body mechanics very effectively. The Approach System uses Hammer Strikes as it's foundation, these are very effective and help in preserving your fists and hands. More combat systems are using this method and palm strikes from what I have seen. I find The Approach a powerful tool as it has helped in building my foundation knowledge and has helped in my development with other training systems. I cannot recommend this highly enough as this has helped in enhancing my knowledge and skill set. Peace.”

“Eddie Quinn's Approach 360 course released in December 2017 is an ideal introduction to the Approach self protection method. Broken down into short and easily digestible lessons, it gives students a solid base of understanding in the essential foundations of Eddie's Approach. Regardless of experience, there's something of value in this course for all levels of experience, from the novice to those with a past history in martial arts or combatives. Though I've never met Eddie in person, I have great respect for the man and for his silat guru, Chris Parker, and have watched the development of the Approach over the years. Eddie is onto something quite exceptional with the Approach with its highly effective yet simple to learn format. The one other element it would be great to see from Eddie in the future is something on the "Left of Bang" aspects of the Approach training, that is, training the combative mindset prior to engagement. Lee Morrison has done a lot of good work in explaining this area of combatives study, and it is a vital component that some martial arts including silat take extremely seriously. Having seen some of Eddie's Silat Fitrah brothers in action, it is a practice inherent in that fighting style. All in all, I have nothing but positive praise for the Approach 360. Eddie has excelled himself once again. Definitely a 5 Star course! ”

“I didn't like The Approach... I loved it! I've gone through it twice already, and have been training it since the first time through. It's simple with it's techniques and execution, but not simplistic. Eddie Quinn's right when he talks about "what technique syndrome". You don't have to worry about that. You just hit using the gross motor techniques he teaches. Not only is The Approach itself great, but Eddie is a fantastic teacher. Now wonder he's won awards. And it's funny how you feel like you know him and his training partners, even though I've only ever trained online. Hope to meet him in person one day.”
