Partner · Behaviour & performance under pressure
FightClinic.nl
Behaviour determines performance — especially under pressure. FightClinic trains it where it becomes visible: on the mat.
Who is FightClinic?
FightClinic.nl (FightClinic) is a training organisation based in The Hague that uses martial arts to develop behaviour under pressure, and a partner of Martial Arts Group (MAG). Rather than teaching theory in a meeting room, FightClinic creates real pressure on the mat, makes behaviour visible and then helps people and teams develop and steer it. Its registered methodology, 5 Vingers 1 Vuist®, follows four steps: make behaviour visible, analyse it, develop it and measure it. FightClinic works with companies, schools, youth care and day-activity settings, sports teams and individuals, with formats ranging from a single team experience to performance programmes that include a baseline, training, reflection and a final report. Martial Arts Group (MAG) connects FightClinic with corporate clients, gyms, federations and athletes, and sees its work as clear proof of what martial arts can contribute beyond the competition floor: focus, communication, ownership and resilience.

About the partner
What does FightClinic do?
FightClinic starts from an observation familiar to every fighter: performance is not determined by what people know, but by what they do when things get difficult. Under pressure, decisions are postponed, communication deteriorates and responsibility becomes blurred.
FightClinic designs training environments where that pressure is real, so individuals and groups experience how they respond. That experience makes behaviour concrete and open to discussion — and from there, targeted skills such as communication, focus and decision-making under pressure can be trained.

The method
What is the '5 Vingers 1 Vuist' method?
5 Vingers 1 Vuist® (five fingers, one fist) is the registered methodology that FightClinic uses to develop behaviour under pressure. The five fingers stand for self-insight, setting direction, self-management, resilience and connection; together they form a fist — a strong, united team. The method follows four steps: make behaviour visible, analyse it, develop it and measure it. As FightClinic puts it, this is not a one-off training but a system for behaviour that keeps functioning when it matters. In practice, FightClinic uses martial arts exercises on the mat to create real pressure, so that participants experience how they respond instead of discussing it in theory. That shared experience gives a team a concrete starting point for working on communication, focus and decision-making. Martial Arts Group (MAG) introduces companies, sports teams and federations to FightClinic when they want to work on behaviour in this way.
