Martial arts workshops in self-defense, resilience and leadership that bring teams together and build lasting skills.
Workshops & Clinics are a Martial Arts Group (MAG) service for companies and organisations that want to use martial arts for employee health, team development or brand visibility. It is part of the Corporate services of MAG. Key elements of the service: self-defense, resilience training, leadership development, team building and event clinics. Martial Arts Group (MAG) delivers Workshops & Clinics from The Hague for clients in the Netherlands and across Europe. Each engagement starts with a conversation about goals, followed by a plan with defined deliverables, channels and responsibilities that MAG carries out and refines over time. Related Corporate services are Health & Workout Programs and Sponsorships, which can be combined with Workshops & Clinics.
Companies looking for unique team-building activities can benefit from our martial arts workshops. We offer self-defense, resilience training, and leadership development sessions, providing employees with valuable skills while fostering teamwork and confidence.
Team building
A corporate martial arts workshop is a single, focused session in which a team learns practical skills from martial arts, such as self-defense, resilience or leadership principles, in an active, hands-on format. Martial Arts Group (MAG) organizes these workshops for companies that want team building with lasting value. A clinic follows the same approach with a narrower technical focus, and both can be organized for a department, a full company or a business event such as a kick-off, an offsite or a conference. Workshops replace passive team-building with a shared challenge: colleagues step outside their usual roles, learn something new together and leave with skills they can actually use. Every session is led by an experienced instructor from MAG's network, runs from warm-up to closing reflection, and is adapted to the group, so no prior experience is needed and sparring is not part of the format unless agreed.
Learning through movement
Martial arts are taught in pairs and small groups, built on trust, clear communication and respect for a partner. Those same qualities are what make teams effective. When colleagues hold pads for each other or practice a technique together, cooperation is not a slide on a screen; it is the exercise itself.
Martial arts also offer a structured way to experience pressure. Learning to stay composed, breathe and make decisions during physical effort gives participants a reference point for handling stress at work.
Planning your session
Workshop planning at Martial Arts Group (MAG) is a short, structured process that moves from a briefing to a tailored session delivered by an experienced instructor. MAG starts by understanding the occasion and the outcome you want: a kick-off, an offsite, a wellbeing day or a leadership program. It then proposes a theme, a session length and a structure that suit the group, and agrees practical matters such as the location, the number of participants and any accessibility needs. Themes can include self-defense, resilience training, leadership development or team building, or a compact clinic that fits into a conference program. On the day, an instructor from MAG's network leads the session from warm-up to closing reflection, connecting what the group has practiced to their working environment. To start planning, companies can email info@martialartsgroup.com or call +31 6 30 31 25 80 with their preferred timing and group size.

FAQ
Workshop length is agreed with you and depends on the theme and the occasion. A clinic can be compact enough to fit into a conference program or kick-off, while a workshop on resilience or leadership can be extended into a longer session for an offsite. Every session includes a warm-up and a closing reflection that links the exercises to daily work.
Yes, workshops are suitable for colleagues who are not sporty. They focus on learning and cooperation rather than fitness, and every exercise is adapted to the group. No experience is required, sparring is not part of the format unless agreed, and participants can share injuries or accessibility needs in advance so the instructor can adjust the session.
A workshop is built around a theme such as resilience or leadership and connects martial arts to the workplace, while a clinic is a more compact, technique-focused session. Clinics are often used to add an active element to a conference, kick-off or company celebration. Workshops usually end with a closing reflection that translates the exercises into lessons for work.
Yes, every workshop is tailored to your company's goals and themes. A topic such as communication, handling pressure or personal safety can be the thread that runs through the session. MAG agrees the theme during the briefing, together with the group profile and logistics, and the instructor connects each exercise to that theme in the closing reflection.
