BJJ Classes for Roselle Park Adults
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is our flagship program — adults 16 and up, beginners fully expected. Most people walk in with zero experience and start with the fundamentals.
Plenty of schools in the area teach BJJ; a few even share our lineage. The difference is the coach. Jamal's competition record — ADCC, IFL, Bellator, UWC Light Heavyweight Champion — informs every position and transition he teaches. See the full adult BJJ program.
Evening classes at 6, 7, and 8 PM most weekdays, built around working adults who commute. Two weeks free, no contract.
Kids Martial Arts for Roselle Park Families
Cubs — Ages 4–6
Preschool-age energy given some structure. Coordination, listening, and confidence come first, delivered in short, high-engagement bursts with steady positive reinforcement.
Lions — Ages 7–13
Real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — takedowns, escapes, positions. Not katas; a working system with a real belt progression. Parents consistently tell us the confidence and focus carry off the mat and into school.
Bully prevention is a real part of what we teach. Once a kid knows they can handle themselves, the dynamic with a bully tends to shift — usually without a single punch thrown. Take a look at the kids program.
Muay Thai Near Roselle Park, NJ
Authentic Muay Thai under the same roof as your BJJ — real pad work, technique, and conditioning, not cardio kickboxing. Adults 16 and up, and beginners are welcome from day one.
MMA Near Roselle Park, NJ
Our MMA program combines Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling into one system, coached by Jamal Patterson — a pro MMA fighter who has cornered UFC fighters. Adults 16 and up, all levels.

What students and parents say
Real results from real students. Kids building confidence. Adults discovering capabilities they thought were gone. The vibe is coach first, everything else second.
"Our son was shy and anxious in group settings. Three months at AllStar — he stands taller, listens better, and actually wants to come to class. Jamal doesn't just teach jiu-jitsu, he builds confidence.
"
"Started at 40 thinking I was too old and too slow. Everyone here is encouraging, and the instruction is genuinely world-class. I've sparred at other gyms — this lineage and coaching is different.
"
"Both kids train here. The discipline transfers home immediately. Teachers at school have asked what we're doing differently. Jamal's curriculum is legit, and the gym feels safe.
"
"Jamal cornered me as an amateur and still does. Having a coach with IFL and Bellator experience who actually cares — not just about your record but about your game development — is rare.
