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.

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 .

September 20, 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.

April 5, 2016 - 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!

September 24, 2018I'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.
