Martial Arts in Union, NJ
We're the gym in your town. Not a chain. Not a franchise. The real one.
Your Neighborhood Gym Since 2011
AllStar has been on West Chestnut Street since 2011 — long before the trampoline parks and the chain karate places. We're not visiting Union. We are Union. Coach Jamal lives the work; the school sponsors local events; half the adult students live within five minutes of the building.
If you live in Union, the trial isn't a road trip. It's a five-minute thing. Walk in any time during the schedule. We'll get you on the mat.

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.
