Try 1 Free Week at Sidekick Martial Arts
Most schools offer one free class. We offer one free week.
That is enough time for a child, teen, or adult to settle in, and enough time for you to see how we actually coach. Sidekick Martial Arts & Fitness in Hasbrouck Heights runs small classes for ages 3 and up. Kids must be potty trained. Patient. Structured. No yelling. No hard sell.
Free Week covers kids, teens, and adults. Families from Hasbrouck Heights, Lodi, Hackensack, Maywood, Rutherford, East Rutherford, and nearby Bergen County towns use it to test fit before they join.

What the free week includes
Age-appropriate classes for your group (Tiny Tigers, Kids Martial Arts, or teens/adults)
Real instruction from Master Joe's school, not a demo reel
A chance to learn the warm-up, the expectations, and the room
Time for a parent (or the adult trainee) to see how corrections are given and whether people are noticed
A straightforward conversation after the week about whether it is a fit
What it is not: a one-class sample, a pressure pitch, or a "sign today or lose this deal" speech.
Who it's for
Parents and adults in Hasbrouck Heights and nearby Bergen County towns who want:
Small classes where every person gets attention
Coaching that works for energetic kids, anxious kids, and kids with ADHD, without clinical promises we cannot make
Discipline and confidence taught with patience, not volume
A long-term school, not a revolving door
A full Free Week for kids, teens, and adults, not a one-class teaser
If your child melted into the back of a big class, or bounced off the walls until someone got frustrated, this week is how you find out if Sidekick is different. If a teen or adult wants kickboxing, strength, or self-defense, Free Week covers that path too.

What the first visit looks like
- 1
You book.
Pick a class on our online schedule, or call or text (201) 754-4408. We'll confirm the right class and what to bring.
- 2
You arrive a few minutes early.
Check in. Meet us. You (or your child) see the space before class starts.
- 3
Class begins with structure.
Warm-up, listening, fundamentals. Clear instructions. Firm tone when needed - never screaming.
- 4
Every student is coached, not parked.
Small classes exist so we can see who's struggling, who's ready for more, and who needs a shorter step.
- 5
You watch.
Notice how students are spoken to. Notice whether they look lost or included.
- 6
We talk when it makes sense.
After class or later in the week - about fit, not about closing a sale.
Come as you are. We care more about effort and respect than perfect uniforms on day one.
Expectations
Show up on time.
Effort matters. Trying is required. Perfection is not.
Respect is non-negotiable.
We don't yell kids into focus. We teach them how to listen.
We don't promise fast belts. Progress is earned.
If it's not a fit, we'll say so. Same if it is.

Common questions
Why a free week instead of one free class?
One class can feel like a performance. A week shows the real rhythm.
What ages can join Free Week?
Free Week covers kids, teens, and adults. Tiny Tigers is ages 3-5 (potty trained). Kids Martial Arts is ages 6-14. Teens and adults 13+ train kickboxing, strength, and self-defense. Learn more about Tiny Tigers at sidekick-ma.com/tiny-tigers.
Is this for energetic, anxious, or ADHD kids?
Yes. Those families are a big part of who we serve. We are not therapists and we do not diagnose. We offer small classes, clear expectations, and patient coaching.
Do I have to stay and watch?
You are welcome to watch. Many parents do, especially the first few visits.
What happens after the free week?
If it is a fit, we will walk you through membership calmly. If it is not, no hard feelings.
Is there a catch or expiration?
No fake urgency. Book when it works for your family.
Do you invent class times on this page?
No. Book current openings on the live schedule: https://sidekick-ma.gymdesk.com/schedule
