  • 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.

    I have been going for 3 or 4 weeks now and the fact I am already losing weight and my skills are advancing is awesome. Best staff and students around. I am proud to be a student and representative of AFS!

    positive review  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!

    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!

  • 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!

    I 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!

  • 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.
