Why Livingston families drive to AllStar

18 Minutes — Worth The Drive

Livingston already has a martial arts school — Integrated Martial Arts & Fitness is right in town. If all you want is something local, that works. But if you want Renzo Gracie lineage, an ADCC-level competitor coaching your kid, and a school that has been built around BJJ since 2011 — that's AllStar, 18 minutes away. Livingston parents with high standards who have done the comparison keep ending up here. The credentials aren't close.

Livingston adults who train at AllStar consistently say the same thing: they wish they'd started sooner. The after-work 7 PM class becomes the decompression they didn't know they needed. Livingston High will test your kid's composure. Every job they get will test it after that. BJJ builds that composure from the inside. Eighteen minutes via Eisenhower Parkway. Two weeks free. Nothing to lose.

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 Livingston? +
About 18 minutes via Eisenhower Parkway. 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? +
