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 39 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.

“The motto of the Approach is in many ways "do not do something new every five minutes - do explore what is the potential of one move instead" - and while that is not true in the absolute literal sense, it is true enough to be immensely practical - easy to learn - and very adaptable. The takedown DVD does not disappoint either. Basically the course material so far has explored what can be done with a simple enough footwork, a forehand and a backhand both in the hammerfist and the elbow format, but man does this course deliver. I am happy I bought the whole bundle and I am looking forward to see - not to devour - the next DVD. While filmed in 2008 apparently the material is as useful today, as it it was then. I am a lifelong practitioner of the martial arts, and I had to use those arts frequently when I had my stint in private security, and all I can say: this stuff would have come in very very VERY handy. So if you are law enforcement, military or civilian and of you look for an approach - pardon the pun - to drastically improve your combat and self defence skills, the APPROACH is an excellent choice.”
