    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.

    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!

    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!

    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 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.

    positive review 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!
