Built for Adults and Teens Who Want Martial Arts Training That Works in Real Situations

Real Confidence

Practical Skills

Better Discipline

When Training Feels Repetitive and Progress Stops Coming

You show up to class, run through the same drills, and wonder why the skills you’re learning don’t translate when it matters. Maybe the techniques feel disconnected from real situations, the pace is too slow to challenge you, or the instruction doesn’t adapt to what you actually need to work on.

Without structure that pushes you forward, motivation fades. You lose weeks repeating movements that don’t build on each other. The confidence martial arts should give you stays out of reach, and the time you invest feels wasted.

Honest Martial Arts Training That Shapes Character and Skill

Ten Tigers Martial Arts (Summerlin) offers authentic instruction across a wide range of disciplines, from kempo and karate to Jeet Kune Do and Filipino martial arts. Started in 2024 by an instructor who began teaching in 2006 and earned his black belt in 2008, the school brings years of practical experience and genuine dedication to every class.

Training covers striking, grappling, stick fighting, and weapons work, drawing on kajukenbo, wing chun, jiu jitsu, and taekwondo. Each technique is taught with attention to mechanics and real-world application, ensuring students build both confidence and competence at their own pace.

Classes emphasize discipline, respect, and steady progress. Whether you’re a child learning focus or an adult seeking practical self-defense, you’ll find a program that meets you where you are and helps you grow.

Feedback from Students Who Trained with Us

As a parent, I can’t say enough good things about Ten Tigers Martial Arts and Sensei Jenkins!

My son has been attending Ten Tigers, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. The kids absolutely love him (around here he’s known as “The Greeeaaat Sensei Jenkins!” 😂), but what I appreciate most is how much he genuinely cares about each and every child.

When my son was having some behavioral challenges, I talked with Sensei Jenkins, and he immediately partnered with me to help reinforce discipline, respect, and accountability. That meant the world to me. Not every instructor is willing to go the extra mile and work alongside parents to help a child grow, but Sensei Jenkins truly cares about the success of his students both inside and outside the dojo.

You can tell this isn’t just a job for him—he loves what he does, and it shows. He is patient, encouraging, dedicated, and knows how to connect with kids while still holding them to a high standard. The confidence, discipline, and respect he helps build in these children is amazing to watch.

If you’re looking for a martial arts program that feels like family and an instructor who is genuinely invested in your child’s growth, I highly recommend Ten Tigers Martial Arts. We are so grateful to be part of this dojo and community.

Thank you, Sensei Jenkins, for all that you do for our kids. Your dedication does not go unnoticed! 🐅🥋❤️

Our family has had a wonderful experience at Ten Tigers Karate. My 9 yo daughter joined about two months ago, and we’ve been so impressed with the instructors and the positive environment they’ve created.

The instructors are patient, encouraging, and do a great job balancing discipline with making classes fun for the kids. She looks forward to every class and has already grown in confidence, focus, and respect, both in and out of the dojo.

Sensei Kellen and his senpais are welcoming, organized, and genuinely care about each student’s progress. It’s clear they take the time to get to know every child and help them succeed at their own pace.

If you’re looking for a martial arts school that teaches strong values, builds confidence, and provides excellent instruction in a supportive atmosphere, I highly recommend Ten Tigers Karate!
