I took a class at EKU taught by Scott and it was fantastic. If he can make a classroom fun, I'm willing to bet the gym is incredible.

September 4, 2014I 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've trained at many different gyms, in Kentucky and Massachusetts, and none match what AFS brings to the table. Everyone is very respectful, humble, and have very much of a team mindset where they are willing to help everyone get better. The coach, Scott Elliot, is a great man and very skilled, and that skill shows through the entire team there at AFS. I could go on and on about this place, but if you are looking for a place to train, I definitely recommend AFS.

June 14, 2014I 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!

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.

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

March 6, 2015 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!

My daughter has already learned a ton! Adam has an amazing youth class. Fun yet structured, discipline and respect are emphasized. The kids are engaged and all really love it!

January 17, 2016 I first trained AFS when I was in college. I have some of my best memories there. The coach is legit, great training partners. The training is the best I've ever experienced, excellent with kids. I live two hours away and it is worth the drive!

September 20, 2016A wonderful experience. Before coming here I had never had any experience with martial arts, but the staff at AFS were very welcoming and made my time here beyond amazing. They are incredibly talented at what they are teaching, and I would recommend AFS to anyone seeking to either try something new or improve.

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.
