AllStar MMA Training Facility is the premier Black Belt Academy in central New Jersey and provides a challenging, fun learning environment for you to develop black belt skills. The challenging classes will push you and your family beyond your physical limits and all the fun will keep you coming back for more.
Whether you're looking for a fun, fitness-boosting hobby, to compete professionally, or self-defense. Almost every technique in Muay Thai utilizes your ENTIRE body. Even a simple jab requires the twisting of the hips, stability of the core, and pivoting of the legs. As a result, every class gives you a powerful, full-body workout too.
Children learn a lot about what it means to be respectful and polite here. As a result, kids who weren't violent in the first place become even more respectful and kind. Kids with behavior problems often become very respectful and calm. In fact, martial arts is often a "home" for kids who don't excel at team sports.

I love this place. The coaches are all amazing and really do their best to teach you. Coach Villy is the best coach I have ever had in all my years training. Professor Patterson is the owner and he has created a fantastic and helpful atmosphere here. Everyone here is positive and helps each other out. If you want to improve as a martial artists, you will here. If you want to lose weight, you will here as well. The prices are fair as well. Not too cheap but not too expensive either.

I wanted to learn muay thai so I chose Allstar MMA Facility mainly because it was close to were I lived. I ended up moving but I still come to the gym almost every day because I fell in love with the sport and everyones vibes. Profesor Jamal Patterson is very professional and just by talking to him and by the way he teaches you can tell that he is very experienced, him and all the coaches are always paying attention during training and drills and they make sure to correct you so you can improve. I honestly don’t see myself training anywhere else. They offer a free week, give it a try and you

(Writing this on a throw away account) The BJJ classes put more focus and emphasis on rolling. Depending on the instructor more than half of the class is live rolls, and there isn't much room for learning or drilling technique. Honestly if they shifted focus to drills and technique and called more attention to form it would be so much better and people wold learn a lot more. I understand people find rolling to be more enjoyable and they want to get their moneys worth, but the lessons should be centered around practicing drills and learning new things. Also Jamal no offense but, when it comes to

The good first. Clean gym with everything you need for combat/bjj training(imho). The main guy seems students oriented, professional and knowledgeable.
Now my experience. I got injured 10 minutes into my first practice. I am a pro athlete(though not in combat sports). I have tons of coaching experience. Therefore, here are my questions.
1. What happened to a warmup? Even just a simple, short full body prepping workout?
2. I had 0 experience in any wrestling. I specifically mention that. I received NO introduction, NO safety rules, NO basics nothing. Does that sound right to you?
3. How do you

Been training here for almost a year now, hands down a great environment with great coaches who will help you succeed as long as you’re straight up and put in the work required. Since day one I was treated like family and our bond just kept growing. I’d highly recommend you come down here and train with us.
The owner of the gym, Jamal Patterson, gives energy like no other. He’s got the best sense of humor as he’s always cracking jokes which makes him super easy to approach. Jamal is very considerate and patient which just shows how much he loves his job as an instructor. He’s also a

Best MMA/Muay Thai academy loved it. Jamal is great very knowledgeable, respectful and very passionate about teaching the art to his students. The classes were challenging but pushed you to work hard to get you stronger and better. Staff was nice and all the people i worked out with were very friendly. Jamal also understood my situation and without any questions asked cancelled my membership it was a breeze. Please don't hesitate to join this academy if you want to learn to fight, for self defense or just to get back in shape. Thank you Sir.

I am out of town for work frequently, and try to drop-in and try new Jiu-Jitsu gyms whenever I travel. The owner, Jamal is great. Super personable, and amazing credentials. I joined the jiu-jitsu class, but they had Wrestling and Muy-Thai going at the same time. Great group of competitors and instructors there. Facilities were clean, and classes were safe for all levels. They are in the process of expanding their mat space which will make them even better. Highly suggest giving this gym a try. I will definitely be back.
Thanks AllStar Team!

This is an awesome place to train. Coach Jamal is super knowledgeable and makes you feel at home right from the start. Big sense of camaraderie among everyone.
I had never trained BJJ before so I was hesitant in the beginning but it's been months now and I am only encouraged to keep coming back! It's made a huge difference in my life. I have lost significant weight, I am in a lot better shape and the knowledge Jamal has shared is invaluable. Great guy too, not only as a coach but as a friend.
Truly a special place.

Jamal is one of the most heartfelt coaches in the coaching world. His accolades are huge, and so are those of his athletes but he truly cares about everyone improving, including himself. He is always looking into how he can better his school and coaching. It is fun to be a colleague and coach with Jamal, as well as share knowledge.
