KNIFE ATTACK SURVIVOR: TRAUMA to TRIUMPH
Episode notes
Eddie recounts the harrowing experience of being stabbed six times, an
incident that changed the course of his life forever. In this riveting
episode of the World of Martial Arts Show, Mick Tully sits down with the
legendary Ajan Guru Eddie Quinn. Known as the best Irish martial artist
in the Midlands, Eddie shares his extraordinary journey into martial
arts, sparked by a life-altering event 40 years ago.
Eddie's introduction to martial arts was not born out of a desire for
competition or fame but from a deeply personal need for self-defence and
healing. After a violent attack left him with multiple stab wounds,
Eddie found himself at a crossroads. With the encouragement of a heart
specialist, he embarked on a journey into the world of martial arts,
initially exploring disciplines like Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai.
However, it was his encounter with Silat and the teachings of Chris
Parker that truly transformed his approach to martial arts.
Over the years, Eddie developed 'The Approach', a unique martial arts
system that emphasises simplicity, effectiveness, and adaptability. It's
a method that resonates not only with martial artists but also with
military personnel and self-defence enthusiasts worldwide. The beauty of
'The Approach' lies in its accessibility—if you can throw a ball, walk,
and move naturally, you can master the basics of this system.
Eddie's story is also a testament to the power of mentorship and
community. His long-standing relationship with Chris Parker, a visionary
in the martial arts world, has been pivotal in shaping his journey.
It's a reminder that finding the right teacher can make all the
difference in one's personal and professional growth.
For those new to martial arts or considering starting, Eddie's journey
offers invaluable lessons. It's not just about learning to fight; it's
about building confidence, finding peace, and transforming one's life.
Whether you're driven by a need for self-defence or a desire for
personal growth, martial arts can be a powerful tool for change.
As you listen to this episode, you'll not only gain insights into
Eddie's martial arts philosophy but also discover the profound impact it
has had on his life and the lives of many others. So, tune in to hear
