Be the Best...Train with the BEST!!

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.

AFS and Scott Elliot literally changed my life a few years ago. If either an individual or a family wants to invest a little time they will become part of something that they will take into their futures and give them a major hand up for the rest of their lives...

March 17, 2017I 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!

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.

December 10, 2015Had 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.

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.

August 3, 2016I 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.

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.

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 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!
