Our daughter is 8 and she loves it, we love the fact the instructors require the youth to be disciplined in all they are doing.

Love the staff ,my 7 year old grandson has been a student for about a year .Now his sister has started she's 4 they love it and I know it's teaching them so much .I would recommend it to anyone.

  Great instructors to train with.

Welcoming environment, no egos, lots of smiles, everyone eager to work together. I cannot day enough good about AFS and are looking forward to continuing my training there when I can!

Loved it from the start. Coach Elliot is great and the team is awesome. Worth the hour drive.

In a gathering of the best martial artists of the Southeast Scott Elliot and the AFS team stood out. I've trained under many great instructors and he's as good as they get. I can't recommend this gym enough. Great people on and off the mat with elite technique. Definitely looking forward to collaborating with them for as long as I train.

Visited a few days from out of town, great group of people, quality training, can’t thank them enough!

I had the privilege of attending a seminar where Scott Elliott was invited to instruct. I came with a group of two brown belts, a purple belt, and another white belt. We were all so impressed by his technique and teaching style that we booked a private group session with him. Can not say enough positive things, all of us took away so much from his lesson and we look forward to making the trip up to Richmond to train with him some more! Scott, come to Mobile!

  Our 5 year old daughter as well as my husband were lucky enough to be able to train with Coaches Scott, Gina and Adam when we lived in Berea for 3 months. This is an amazing program and one of the biggest reasons we were sad to leave the area!

Great group , and had a great time . Can't wait til next tournament.

Enjoy this place and the people involved a lot! And they never make you feel discouraged. Everyone pushes each other in a great way. Really wish I could take AFS academy with me around the world.

Studied Muay Thai here on and off for three years. Moved to Lexington and tried out multiple gyms looking for training of similar quality. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere like I did. There isn't another gym to be found that can combine the decades of experience Sifu Scott has with combat sports. But he isn't just skilled himself at what he teaches, he is also an adaptive and exceptional teacher. You'll see this when taking classes taught by his former students that have been recognized by the Thai boxing association and turned instructors themselves. The prices for training at this gym are spot on for the area but in my opinion they are an absolute steal compared to what you get out of the experience at AFS.

I was only able to visit Richmond for one day, but training at this gym almost made me want to move to Kentucky! The folks at this gym are some of the friendliest you'll meet, with badass fighting skills to boot. Scott is a great instructor, and I learned a lot from everyone when I was there. If I lived in Kentucky, this is where I'd train. Looking forward to coming back someday!

Great people and awesome training! Recommending it to all my friends

Awesome place to train ! You can feel and see the personal investment the instructors have made with all the students regardless of level. Definitely not like the big box gyms you see in Lexington and Louisville where you’re just a badge number .

  Great facility and awesome people to train with! Highly qualified coaches and training partners! Best gym around!

Great guys and gals at the gym - some beasts at the 150 lb weight, beware! Thanks for letting me train with you all. Shout out from Singapore !

Highly recommend AFS is a friendly environment with some of the best instruction around. Coming from someone who enjoys traveling and training, each time I visit AFS it’s a great experience. Working with these guys and gals you are sure to improve in anything they have to offer. Clean facility and quality instruction.
