  • 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!

  • One of the best training environments I've ever been in. After having been a member for a few months, I would like to add that this gym has the most amazing instructors. They encourage learning technique over exhausting you to death. But, don't let that fool you, you will work your butt off! In fact, I was injured and they still managed to get me involved in the training, safely. I highly highly highly recommend AFS Academy to anyone interested in learning true martial arts.

  • I 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!

    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.

    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 .

  • positive review Our 5 year old daughter as well as my husband were lucky enough to be able to train with Coaches Scott, Gina and Adam when we lived in Berea for 3 months. This is an amazing program and one of the biggest reasons we were sad to leave the area!
