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.

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.

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 .

I had a fantastic experience here at the recent Ajarn Chai Muay Thai seminar. The staff and instructors were great! I came from hours away and was treated like family. I highly recommend AFS Academy.

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.

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

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!

  Great instructors to train with.

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.

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

  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!

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!

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.

A 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.

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

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

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.

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.
