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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Awesome gym, great people, and badass instructors!

Great instructors to train with.

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!

Great guys and gals at the gym - some beasts at the 150 lb weight, beware! Thanks for letting me train with you all. Shout out from Singapore !

Scott and Gina are awesome instuctors and people. Great school and family environment. I look forward to working with them in the near future.

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 down for the week and trained here. Everyone was very polite & welcoming! I had a wonderful experience, the guys & gals here are really good at what they do & gave me a great challenge! Will definitely come here again when I’m in town!

Very inspiring, I love how the kids also have something to work towards.

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!

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.

Highly recommend AFS is a friendly environment with some of the best instruction around. Coming from someone who enjoys traveling and training, each time I visit AFS it’s a great experience. Working with these guys and gals you are sure to improve in anything they have to offer. Clean facility and quality instruction.

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
