ABOUT US
Our Story
Welcome to our martial arts "ohana"! With two locations in Las Vegas, Nevada, we are proud to create an inspiring and empowering environment for students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, we are here to help you grow, achieve, and thrive.
Our school’s legacy begins with Master Kevin Durant, a passionate martial artist with over 30 years of dedication to the craft. Since falling in love with martial arts, Master Durant has trained thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to earn state and world championship titles. His commitment to discipline, respect, and excellence is the foundation of everything we do.
Master Durant first opened his dojo in 2003 in Elk Grove, California. For 14 years, he built a loyal community of students, cultivating a love for martial arts and excellence in each class. His reputation for pushing boundaries and achieving results led to a lasting legacy in the area.
In 2017, Master Durant brought his lifelong mission to Las Vegas, opening our first location in Green Valley. It quickly became a place where students not only enhance their physical abilities but also build confidence, focus, and character. Fueled by our community’s enthusiasm, we expanded in early 2023 by opening our second location in Southern Highlands.
Our Mission
We believe martial arts is more than just a physical discipline. It’s a way to cultivate self-discipline, resilience, and respect both on and off the mat. Our mission is to help every student unlock their potential, whether they’re aiming to compete at the highest level or simply looking for a fulfilling, fun way to stay active.
