Proven Results
You show up to class, but the energy shifts every week. Some sessions feel productive while others leave you wondering if you’re improving at all. Maybe your footwork is sloppy, your endurance lags, or sparring drills feel awkward and forced.
Without structure, you burn time and motivation. Skills plateau. Frustration builds. The discipline you wanted becomes a routine you second-guess instead of a habit that transforms you.
Ten Tigers Martial Arts (Summerlin) was founded in 2024 by a certified black belt who started teaching in 2006, served as an Army combat medic from 2014 to 2023, and returned to create a school that treats training with the same rigor and care he learned in service. We teach students in The Paseos and across the valley real martial arts skills grounded in multiple disciplines.
Our curriculum covers kempo, Wing Chun, Filipino Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, kickboxing, and taekwondo. Each class emphasizes functional technique, proper form, and controlled sparring so students build competency at every belt level. You’ll find structured drills, partner work, pad sessions, and live application that challenge you without injury risk.
Every instructor holds verifiable credentials, every class runs on time, and every student receives feedback that moves them forward. Your progress is measured, your effort is recognized, and your martial arts journey is guided by people who have walked the same path.
We deliver striking, grappling, and ground control drills that prepare you for real-world situations.
Practical techniques and situational drills designed to keep you safe and confident in any confrontation.
Traditional forms, sparring, and belt progression that develop discipline, focus, and effective striking mechanics.
High-intensity pad work, bag drills, and combination sequences that improve your fitness and fighting ability.
Training builds the physical skill and mental calm to handle intimidation, pressure, and real-world conflict without freezing up.
Consistent training creates routines that improve focus at school, work, and home without feeling like extra homework.
Regular sparring and drills improve cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and strength while keeping training sessions engaging and varied.
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!

Typically three to five years with consistent training. The timeline depends on how often you attend, how you apply feedback, and your commitment to practice between sessions.
Not right away. Beginners can train in comfortable athletic clothes and bare feet. As you advance, you’ll know exactly what to invest in based on your chosen discipline.
