Enjoy this place and the people involved a lot! And they never make you feel discouraged. Everyone pushes each other in a great way. Really wish I could take AFS academy with me around the world.

April 5, 2016I 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 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 was only able to visit Richmond for one day, but training at this gym almost made me want to move to Kentucky! The folks at this gym are some of the friendliest you'll meet, with badass fighting skills to boot. Scott is a great instructor, and I learned a lot from everyone when I was there. If I lived in Kentucky, this is where I'd train. Looking forward to coming back someday!

Fantastic place and staff, everyone is very humble and experienced, I don't know of any other gym in Kentucky that can prepare you and influence you any better than AFS. It's a privilege to be part of it!

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.

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.

August 8, 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!
