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.

★★★★★ — Anthony, Mar 2024

Meet the Christine and her husband during their sat class. Lovely and warm couple. All the students were kind and welcoming to me. I never loved any group more than I loved this one. So many levels of skill. If I made more money there would be nothing stopping me from joining!

★★★★★ — Barbara, May 2024

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 muay thai? 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at AllStar Martial Arts – Kids, BJJ, Muay Thai & Self Defense in Union NJ

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
