From the reviews
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.
I cannot recommend AllStar highly enough! From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was in for an exceptional fitness experience. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always ready to offer guidance and encouragement to help me achieve my goals.
I highly recommend AllStar Martial Arts - I have been a student of BJJ since December 2023. Instructors are highly professional and I am enjoying my journey in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Dennis Hepworth
All-Star MMA is hands down one of the best gyms I've ever trained at. The instruction is absolutely top-tier. Every coach brings serious knowledge, passion, and attention to detail that elevates everyone on the mats.
New to kickboxing? Start at AllStar Martial Arts – Kids, BJJ, Muay Thai & Self Defense in Union NJ
AllStar Martial Arts – Kids, BJJ, Muay Thai & Self Defense in Union NJ comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at AllStar Martial Arts – Kids, BJJ, Muay Thai & Self Defense in Union NJ
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
