Stopped in this week from Canada while visiting some family. Absolutely cannot wait to come back already. Top tier instructors, awesome training partners, nothing but good vibes. Awesome first 10th planet experience! Thank you Scott!

I’ve been at AFS since I was 5. Coach Scott and Coach Gina have helped and supported me while I’ve achieved 3 national titles. AFS is my 2nd home. I love it here.

Have been training here for over 1.5 years and it has been a great experience so far. Fantastic coaching, great people, and an incredible community.

10 months ago I finally agreed to let my 8 year old give it a try. He has ADHD and struggles with impulse control and I was skeptical that this would help and honestly figured he would find himself in more trouble with impulse control rather than improvement. Boy was I wrong. We are seeing great improvement not only on the mat, but at school and in the daily routines. He looks forward to practice and now to the competitions. Coach Gina and Coach Scott are the absolute best, not only as coaches but people in general. If your child, or yourself struggles, give it a try! You won’t be disappointed. Everyone in the gym is welcoming and ready to help other learn.
