Try 1 Free Week of Kids Martial Arts

Most schools offer one free class. We offer one free week.

That's enough time for your child to settle in - and enough time for you to see how we actually coach. Sidekick Martial Arts & Fitness in Hasbrouck Heights runs small kids classes for ages about 3.5 to 14. Patient. Structured. No yelling. No hard sell.

What the free week includes

  • Classes for your child's age group (Tiny Tigers or Kids)

  • Real instruction from Master Joe's school - not a demo reel

  • A chance for your child to learn the warm-up, the expectations, and the room

  • Time for you to watch how corrections are given and whether your kid is noticed

  • A straightforward conversation after the week about whether it's 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 in Hasbrouck Heights and nearby Bergen County towns who want:

  • Small classes where every child gets attention

  • Coaching that works for energetic kids, anxious kids, and kids with ADHD - without clinical promises we can't make

  • Discipline and confidence taught with patience, not volume

  • A long-term school, not a revolving door

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.

What the first visit looks like

  1. 1

    You book.

    Call, email, or use the form. We'll confirm age/program and what to bring.

  2. 2

    You arrive a few minutes early.

    Check in. Meet us. Your child sees the space before class starts.

  3. 3

    Class begins with structure.

    Warm-up, listening, fundamentals. Clear instructions. Firm tone when needed - never screaming.

  4. 4

    Your child 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. 5

    You watch.

    Notice how your kid is spoken to. Notice whether they look lost or included.

  6. 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?

Roughly 3.5-14 across Tiny Tigers and kids programs.

Is this for energetic, anxious, or ADHD kids?

Yes - those families are a big part of who we serve. We're not therapists and we don't diagnose. We offer small classes, clear expectations, and patient coaching.

Do I have to stay and watch?

You're welcome to watch. Many parents do, especially the first few visits.

What happens after the free week?

If it's a fit, we'll walk you through membership calmly. If it isn't, no hard feelings.

Is there a catch or expiration?

No fake urgency. Book when it works for your family.

A week tells you more than a class ever will
