Listen on

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

how Eddie Quinn turned a life-altering event into a legacy of resilience

and empowerment. You might just find the inspiration you need to embark

on your own journey of transformation. Contact Eddie here; http://www.the-approach.com
