Real Skills
Lasting Discipline
Visible Progress
You train sporadically, the drills feel repetitive, and you’re not sure where you’re actually headed. Maybe technique stays sloppy, sparring exposes gaps, or the basics just won’t click. What started as a clear goal now feels like wasted time and effort.
Without the right structure and coaching, frustration builds. Skills plateau. Motivation fades. And the confidence you wanted to build stays out of reach, week after week.
Ten Tigers Martial Arts (Summerlin) brings together multiple fighting disciplines under one roof, taught by an instructor who started in 2006, earned his black belt in 2008, and returned from active duty as a combat medic to open this school in 2024. You train in techniques drawn from kempo, Filipino martial arts, Wing Chun, jiu jitsu, and Jeet Kune Do, all rooted in real-world application.
Each class blends striking, grappling, stick fighting, and self-defense drills designed to build functional skill fast. Whether you practice karate forms, kickboxing combinations, or trapping drills, every session sharpens your reflexes, conditioning, and confidence. Families across South Summerlin trust this school because the curriculum adapts to every age and ability level, from first-time kids to experienced adults.
Training here means working with someone who values punctuality, honest feedback, and safe progression. You walk out stronger, more focused, and ready to handle whatever comes next.
We deliver striking, grappling, and ground control drills that prepare you for real-world situations.

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!
