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.

Visited a few days from out of town, great group of people, quality training, can’t thank them enough!

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.

I visited AFS while on vacation with my family. . The folks at AFS welcomed me without hesitation. The group practiced good technical jiu-jitsu. . What a great place to get your roll on. . Thanks to all that brought the sweat at AFS. . DAVID

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...

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.

Good teachers! Our son loves it there! Thanks guys!

In a gathering of the best martial artists of the Southeast Scott Elliot and the AFS team stood out. I've trained under many great instructors and he's as good as they get. I can't recommend this gym enough. Great people on and off the mat with elite technique. Definitely looking forward to collaborating with them for as long as I train.

100% would recommend! Instructors are VERY knowledgeable and helpful to anyone at any level. Great atmosphere and competition, as well as coaching from everyone in the gym!

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.

Welcoming environment, no egos, lots of smiles, everyone eager to work together. I cannot day enough good about AFS and are looking forward to continuing my training there when I can!

Great people. Enjoyed the time we had at the tournament!

Loved it from the start. Coach Elliot is great and the team is awesome. Worth the hour drive.

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.

Great facility and awesome people to train with! Highly qualified coaches and training partners! Best gym around!

Super people!!!! Great with my kids.

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!

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 .
