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 environment. Couldn't pick a better gym, instructors enjoy teaching and I haven't met a member that isn't easy to get along with

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.

AFS has become like family to me. I love all my training partners. They have pushed me consistently. This is the best martial arts gym in the state. Stay a while and it'll change your life.

I have found few people with so much knowledge and wellness to share and truly an amazing teacher. Thank you for your time and looking forward to meeting you again.

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.

Had a great time training here. Everyone was very cool and took me in for the weekend that I trained. Scott gave a great private lesson that helped tremendously. Thanks again to the staff, Gina, Adam, and Emily. Ill be back every time I visit Kentucky.

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

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 !

A great gym and a very welcoming environment. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable in a variety of areas of fitness, allowing me to not only improve my jiu jitsu but to become a better overall athlete.

Scott and Gina are awesome instuctors and people. Great school and family environment. I look forward to working with them in the near future.

Very inspiring, I love how the kids also have something to work towards.

  100% would recommend! Instructors are VERY knowledgeable and helpful to anyone at any level. Great atmosphere and competition, as well as coaching from everyone in the gym!

  I came down for the week and trained here. Everyone was very polite & welcoming! I had a wonderful experience, the guys & gals here are really good at what they do & gave me a great challenge! Will definitely come here again when I’m in town!

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.

If your looking for a perfect nonjudgemental challenging core workout Gina's DDP YOGA class is for you. She encourages each and every participant to get the most out of their workout. Very professional and welcoming.

One 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.

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