Built for Kids, Teens, and Adults Looking for Practical Martial Arts and Lasting Confidence
Real Confidence
Practical Skills
Lasting Progress
You signed up expecting real progress, but classes feel repetitive. Instructors move too fast, skills don’t stick, and you leave wondering if you learned anything at all. Maybe you already tried another school and left frustrated.
The longer you stay in the wrong program, the harder it gets to build the discipline and confidence you wanted. Time passes, motivation fades, and the classes you hoped would change things turn into another dropped commitment.
Ten Tigers Martial Arts (Summerlin) brings together multiple disciplines under one roof so you can find the path that fits you. Started in 2024 by an Army combat medic who earned his black belt in 2008 and spent years training in kajukenbo, jiu jitsu, Filipino martial arts, and jeet kune do, the school offers a complete kempo-based curriculum grounded in real experience.
From karate and kickboxing to self-defense and wing chun, every class pulls from a deep foundation in the kempo art and its connection to other fighting systems. You’ll work on sparring drills, forms, practical self-defense techniques, and conditioning that translate to every situation. The training is structured, the instruction is direct, and the focus stays on measurable progress.
Whether you’re enrolling a child, exploring martial arts as an adult, or sharpening existing skills, the school stands behind every lesson with integrity and discipline. Your journey starts with a clear foundation and grows from there.
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 through your day knowing you can handle yourself, whether you're at work or out with friends.
Techniques you practice every week become second nature, so you're ready when it counts.
Belt ranks and drills give you clear milestones, so you see how far you've come each month.
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!
