Most team building does not work because nothing is at stake. A quiz tests who is fastest, not whether you trust each other.
What your team takes away
The director and the intern were both equally clumsy. A team does not forget that.
Everyone has said “stop” out loud once and noticed that it was listened to immediately.
Doing something wrong in public, and nothing happens. That is psychological safety in practice.
Teams still bring this up months later. That is the glue — the technique is a side effect.
SAG booked this workshop for three of their health centres. That is the most honest review we have.
Nobody has done this before, so seniority does not count. The intern and the director stand at the same striking pad and are both equally clumsy. For many teams that is the first moment the hierarchy drops, and that is where team dynamics shift.
Working in pairs means you say what you do and do not want, and your colleague follows that. Harder, softer, pause. That is the same skill that decides at work whether someone dares to say no to a deadline — only here you see at once whether it is heard. Everything goes at your own pace, with an instructor who holds the frame.
You will get it wrong in front of everyone, and nothing happens. For teams that hide mistakes, that is an exercise in psychological safety that no workshop with sticky notes will give you.
Breaking a wrist grab or getting out of a hold is a concrete skill, not a metaphor. Teams talk about it days later. Not because it was fun, but because intense, unusual experiences stick better than an afternoon in a meeting room.
Fixed rate for the whole group, excluding VAT, venue hire and travel. The larger the group, the lower the price per person.

The basics: stance, distance, breaking a grab and striking a pad. The classic programme for a company outing or team day.

Knives, sticks and firearms are covered in depth: how you deal with that threat, and with an active attack. This is the advanced workshop, and the one most requested by teams that already did an introduction.

Several team-building techniques, combined with Krav Maga skills to protect a colleague. Scenarios under time pressure, and more debrief than in the introduction.

5 hours · for teams that want to perform at their peak · led by an experienced psychologist and a certified Krav Maga instructor
Build a high-performing team by overcoming physical challenges together. Trust, communication and cooperation are tested when it gets uncomfortable, and that is what you talk about afterwards. We design the programme with you, as a single session or a trajectory over several half-days.
Discuss the setup€4.950 excl. VAT
Full custom trajectory · for organisations with aggression risk
We visit your locations and discuss which situations actually occur there. From that we build a training programme of your own: your people train in their own workplace on scenarios that can happen. This is the heaviest trajectory we offer and it goes further than a workshop.
Plan a site visitAbove 20 participants we work with a second expert instructor. That becomes a custom quote.
8 March · International Women's Day
Part of our requests come from teams that are mostly women, and from organisations looking for a programme with substance around 8 March. Krav Maga fits for a technical reason: the system assumes the opponent is bigger and stronger, so the techniques work without a strength or height advantage.
We keep it practical. Break away, create distance, leave, and what you do if you cannot. No room full of victim stories and no lecturing tone. Anyone who wants more leaves with concrete skills.
Plan a workshop for 8 March
You fill in the form with numbers, date and place. You receive a quote within one working day.
A short conversation about your situation: who is taking part, which injuries play a role, and which scenarios occur in your work.
We bring the equipment. You provide a flat space of about two square metres per participant.
Everyone gets a certificate and the group gets a photo. Usable internally and on LinkedIn.
Prices exclude venue hire. If you do not have a suitable space, we arrange one and the hire is listed separately on the quote.
Four recurring types of client, with the sectors we see most often.
Health centres and home-care teams. Often a mix of a team day and dealing with aggression at the desk or on home visits.
SAG Amsterdam · SAG Banne Buiksloot · AnaCare
National agencies, municipal counters and reception locations. Scenarios are matched to situations that occur at work.
CBS · RVO · COA · Mijnbouwschade Limburg
From a project team of five to a department of fifty. Usually a team day or company outing that needs to hold more than an activity.
NS · ACIST · Adams Recruitment · MSML
As a programme element of an anniversary or multi-day event. Fixed price, clear capacity, we align with the day schedule.

Advanced Team Building
Leuke workshop, veel geleerd! Aanrader als leuk teamuitje.
Introduction to Krav Maga
Sweaty, intens en super leerzaam. Binnen trainen bij 33 graden was wel even afzien. Aanrader als teamuitje.
Introduction to Krav Maga
Een super leerzame workshop en een geweldige teambuilding! Het is een heel toffe manier om te ervaren hoe je jezelf in real-life situaties kunt redden. Je komt als collega’s letterlijk en figuurlijk op een andere manier met elkaar in aanraking. Ivo geeft veel waardevolle detailtips over de techniek, echt een aanrader!

Introduction to Krav Maga
We organized a Krav Maga workshop through DefenseMonkees for our colleagues. The best way I can describe the experience was intense but enjoyable at the same time. We all appreciated this insightful and useful experience that pushed us outside of our comfort zones. It was a fantastic team building experience which we all talked about for many days after. Our instructor Ivo was great and gave very clear explanations of each exercise. We learnt some self-defense moves, we bonded as a team, laughed, and "suffered" as a team! It is a workshop that we would all recommend. Thank you Defense Monkees for this very intense but also fun workshop.
Introduction to Krav Maga
Wij hebben de Krav Maga workshop gevolgd met het hele team van ons gezondheidscentrum. Samen lichamelijk flink bezig zijn met iets dat de meesten van ons nog nooit gedaan hadden bleek een schot in de roos. We hebben veel geleerd, aan onze conditie gewerkt en samen ook erg gelachen!
— Wouter
Introduction to Krav Maga
Vanuit een zorginstelling hadden wij een vraag aan DefenseMonkees om een op maat gemaakte workshop te verzorgen voor 50 personen, wat helemaal geen probleem was! We konden zelf aangeven voor hoeveel personen en de tijd waarna Ivo een mooie op maat gemaakte workshop heeft verzorgd. Alle deelnemers gingen met enthousiasme naar huis! Veel dank voor de verzorging van de op maat gemaakt workshop 😊

Introduction to Krav Maga
Training was heel afwisselend, de tijd was zo om. Afgestemd op situaties waar wij mee te maken kunnen krijgen. Al met al een leuke en interessante training.
— Osama
Aansluitend bij de feedback van Osama: de training was ook een mooie toevoeging aan de teambuilding!

Gevaarsbeheersing
De Gevaarsbeheersing workshop was een top sessie voor ons zorgteam. Ons team voelt zich veiliger en beter voorbereid op situaties. De praktische technieken zijn direct toepasbaar in ons dagelijkse werk. Dankzij DefenseMonkees hebben onze medewerkers meer zelfvertrouwen en weten ze hoe ze zichzelf kunnen beschermen.
Introduction to Krav Maga
DefenseMonkees delivered an outstanding workshop for us. Participants gained practical self-defense skills and improved their confidence. The instructors were professional and created a supportive learning environment. Highly recommended.
Introduction to Krav Maga
De workshop van DefenseMonkees gaf ons de tools en het zelfvertrouwen die we nodig hadden. In een veilige omgeving leerden we jezelf te verdedigen en onszelf sterker te voelen. De instructeurs waren respectvol en ondersteunend. Dit is een workshop die kwetsbare groepen echt empowerment geeft.
Introduction to Krav Maga
Was een verrassend intensieve training. Maar ik vond het leuk. Trainer was erg enthousiast en gaf duidelijke uitleg, helemaal prima.
— Flip
Bedankt voor het geven van de workshop! Ondanks dat we hopen dat we dit soort problematische geweldssituaties in ons werk nooit zullen meemaken, is het toch waardevol om iets te weten over hoe we ons hiertegen kunnen verweren. De instructies werden ook duidelijk gedemonstreerd en waren goed te volgen.

Yes. For teams with aggression risk we match scenarios to situations in your work. Health centres, a COA location and government services have booked this before.
