Had a great first day of training a couple of days ago. Loved it and still feeling the workout that my legs recieved during kickboxing. Cant wait to learn all that the instuctors have to offer, which seems to be a lot!

June 15, 2013I 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!

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.

I trained here years ago as a student in college. I learned as much about a good way to live life as I did about martial arts. The training is the best I've ever seen, and haven't found a place of similar quality all over the country. The youth programs are top shelf, teaching our kids how to be upstanding and confident adults with characteristics like integrity, confidence, and respect. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to take martial arts seriously, self defense, or just wanting to get healthy.

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.

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.
