Why Chatham families drive to AllStar

18 Minutes — Worth The Drive

The closest martial arts option to Chatham is Dynasty — primarily a karate school that added BJJ as an extra class. That's not the same as a school built around BJJ from day one with Renzo Gracie lineage behind it. Chatham Borough families are tight-knit and do their research — word travels fast when a school is the real thing. Coach Jamal is a Renzo Gracie black belt and ADCC veteran. That's not marketing language. That's a verifiable competition record.

Chatham kids come in with discipline already baked in — the schools here demand it. BJJ takes it further. The focus required to learn a technique, repeat it under pressure, and apply it when someone is actually resisting translates to every classroom, every field, every job they'll ever have. Eighteen minutes down Route 24. Walk in during any class. If it's not the right fit, you haven't lost anything.

The coach

Why Lineage Actually Matters

I'm Jamal Patterson. I trained directly under Renzo Gracie at his academy in New York. I'm an ADCC veteran and pro MMA fighter — fought in the IFL and Bellator, won the UWC light heavyweight title on a first-round guillotine. I graduated from Colgate. I've been coaching at AllStar in Union since 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is the gym from Chatham? +
About 18 minutes via Route 24 west. Free parking on-site at 1166 West Chestnut St.
What's included in the free trial? +
Two weeks of unlimited classes — adults can try BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA. Kids can try Cubs (4–6) or Lions (7–13). Use of a gi and gear during the trial. Pre-class consultation with Coach Jamal or a senior instructor. No card required to start.
What if my kid has never trained? +
Most kids walk in untrained. We have a structured beginner curriculum. The first few classes are about getting comfortable. By month two, your kid is part of the room.
Will I be the only beginner? +
No. There are always new students starting. We pair beginners with experienced training partners who guide rather than test. The room is calibrated for it.
I'm in my 40s/50s — too late? +
We have students in their 50s and 60s. BJJ rewards technique over strength, so age is less of a factor than people assume. You set the pace.
Do you have evening classes? +
Yes. Adult classes at 6 PM, 7 PM, and 8 PM most weekdays, plus Saturday morning. Built around working schedules and NYC commutes.
How do I sign up? +
Fill out the form on this page or call (908) 341-1131. We'll text you to confirm a class time.
