Dutch facilitator for special forces training

Dutch facilitator for special forces training, shaped by 30 years of practical experience
Martijn's background includes reconnaissance operations, three decades as a firefighter, and experience in construction engineering. That combination gives him a unique perspective: he understands how to breach, why structures fail, and what goes wrong under pressure. This knowledge came together when he began supporting intervention units throughout the Netherlands with their training.
They took one training course. He observed dozens.
His accumulated knowledge is what sets The Kraken apart. We deliver the complete package. Not just breaching techniques and tools, but that final 5% where things often go wrong. We bring in specialists, arrange realistic materials. We build scenarios based on actual operational mistakes and near-misses.
We facilitate. That is our strength.
The Kraken is not affiliated with any specific manufacturer. We know all systems, all brands, and all methods. Our goal is not to sell equipment, but to make your unit perform better.
“We are here to make your mistakes visible before they cost lives in the field.”
The Kraken symbolizes versatility and success. Each tentacle represents a different aspect of our support: diverse training locations, specialist training courses, climbing and rappelling programs, realistic scenarios in various buildings for covert operations, and tailored operational support. We are not limited to one environment or approach, but always maintain focus: better preparing units for the reality in the field.
