Why Springfield families drive to AllStar

6 Minutes — Worth The Drive

Springfield has its own BJJ school now — and if local is all that matters, that's fine. But AllStar has been running since 2011 under a Renzo Gracie black belt who competed at ADCC and fought professionally in the IFL and Bellator. That's a different level of credential. Springfield families who care about the quality of instruction, not just the proximity, have been making the short drive down Morris Ave since we opened.

If you live near Mountain Ave or the Springfield-Millburn line, you're already six minutes from the mat. Evening classes at 6, 7, and 8 PM fit around any work schedule. Two weeks free — no reason not to walk in and see the difference.

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 Springfield? +
About 6 minutes down Morris Avenue. 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.
