I am 43 yrs old and have been training at AFS for a year now, and could not ask for a better place to learn Martial Arts and I live in London which is 53 miles away. They teach 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. Everyone of the instructors are very professional and have a vast knowledge of what they teach and will always go out of there way to help you any way they can. I highly recommend AFS Academy to anyone.

February 6, 2015I came into town to visit family for the holiday and this gym was very welcoming to letting me train with them. I definitely recommend anyone visiting or in the area to go to this gym. They have very friendly staff and team mates. Not only were they friendly, but their members and staff were very knowledgeable and very involved with the MMA scene in the area. I had a great time training, sparring, and talking with them. I will definitely come back next time I am in town! Thanks Team AFS/10th Planet!

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!

June 21, 2016One of the best training environments I've ever been in. After having been a member for a few months, I would like to add that this gym has the most amazing instructors. They encourage learning technique over exhausting you to death. But, don't let that fool you, you will work your butt off! In fact, I was injured and they still managed to get me involved in the training, safely. I highly highly highly recommend AFS Academy to anyone interested in learning true martial arts.
