Kids Martial Arts for South Hackensack Families

South Hackensack is a small township in three separate pieces, with its main neighborhood around Memorial School, Huyler Street, and the Route 46 and I-80 corridor. From most of town, Sidekick Martial Arts in Hasbrouck Heights is about 5 to 10 minutes away on Route 17.

We teach ages 3 and up. Tiny Tigers for ages 3-5 (potty trained). Kids Martial Arts for ages 6-14. Master Joe keeps classes small so energetic kids get coached, not corrected in front of everyone.

Structure after the school day

After school, energy is high and patience is low. A structured class with a clear warm up, short instructions, and a coach who notices effort can be the reset between school and homework.

Many of our students are energetic, struggle to sit still, or have ADHD. We are not a clinic and we do not diagnose. We offer small classes, clear cues, and patient coaching so those kids are not lost in the back of a big line.

  • Short, clear instructions that help kids who need an extra beat
  • No yelling culture, with real expectations
  • Small classes so every child is noticed
  • Free Week so you can test the after school routine first
