Serving adults and kids with MMA and karate training built to last
Real Confidence
Practical Skills
Lasting Discipline
You show up ready to learn, but the instruction changes week to week. Techniques feel disconnected. Your sparring partners outpace you, and you can’t figure out what you’re missing or why drills never quite click.
Without a clear path forward, motivation drops. Months pass with little to show. You start questioning whether martial arts is even worth the time, and the confidence you hoped to build slips further away.
Ten Tigers Martial Arts (Summerlin) brings diverse, authentic training to Northwest Las Vegas families and individuals who want martial arts instruction grounded in real-world technique. Founded in 2024 by an Army combat medic honorably discharged in 2023, our school carries a direct teaching lineage stretching back to 2006 and black-belt certification earned in 2008.
We offer karate, MMA, self-defense, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino martial arts, kempo, kickboxing, and Taekwondo under one roof. Every class integrates moves from multiple disciplines because founder training in kajukenbo, jiu jitsu, and tai chi proved that the best martial artists pull from the full toolkit, not a single rigid style.
Our instructors teach with patience, show up on time, and stand behind every belt promotion. Your child gains confidence, your teen finds focus, and you discover practical skills that translate outside the dojo.
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.
Walk away from every class with techniques you can use, not flashy moves that fail when it matters most.
Burn calories and build strength while learning to strike, grapple, and move without staring at a treadmill.
Train alongside adults and teens who show up, put in the work, and celebrate progress together every week.
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!
