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.

This place has felt like home since day 1. Attention to detail through and through from America making sure you’re ready for your first session to the coaches recognizing/acknowledging your weak points, and pushing you through your workouts. Jamal shows interest in everyone that comes through his doors. .

As a 40-year-old father with two sons, aged six and 12, we've been regulars at this gym for over three months, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing! We're absolutely hooked. The instructors here are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also have the warmest and friendliest disposition. The facility is impressively clean and always well-maintained. We're delighted to say that both my sons and I plan on being loyal members here for the foreseeable future. The pricing and scheduling options are fantastic, making it convenient for families like ours. If you're considering it, I highly recommend taking advantage of the free trial class – it's an experience you won't want to miss!

Instructors are knowledgeable,patient,and professional.I started with no BJJ experience and they've made me feel very comfortable. It's a welcoming,friendly atmosphere to learn and meet people.

Chelsea Zerrenner recommends All Star Martial Arts

From the moment I stepped foot in Allstar MMA I felt welcome. Every training partner I’ve had has been patient, understanding and easy to work with. I’ve always felt safe with every member I’ve trained with. I’ve been a student of Jamal Patterson for my entire jiu jitsu career and would be the first to recommend Allstar to any interested party and especially to women interested in training BJJ.

I started here a year ago with zero BJJ experience. Getting started was intimidating but the instructors have all pushed me out of my comfort zone while still allowing me to work at my own pace. Both the higher belts and instructors are super generous with their time, answering questions and demonstrating moves. Anyone who comes here and makes the effort to learn and practice regularly will see themselves improve.

Benjamin Kant recommends All Star Martial Arts

This place is great, but I live close to All-Star Taekwon-Do in West Caldwell. A lucky break for me. A great place - or, in my opinion, the best. I practiced in CO and a few other locations over 40 years, and I know the difference. They have self-defense and stick fighting, and self-defense classes for women.
