Twin Tigers Academy of Self Defense was founded in 2005 and is 20 years old, and it is described as family-owned and the longest lasting martial arts school in Brentwood. The academy teaches the Shaolin Kempo system of martial arts, blended with techniques from Northern Hung Gar, Southern Hung Gar, Eskrima, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Jujitsu, and Wing Chun, in a dojo that continues to grow. The program uses Twin Tigers owned shuttle vans to pick up children from elementary and middle schools, and offers an active and prior law enforcement and military discount. The stated motto is “Building Self Confidence Through Self Defense,” and the academy is committed to providing communities in and around Brentwood with classes and after school programs, serving Brentwood, Oakley, Byron, Kightson, Discovery Bay, and Antioch. Leadership is provided by Sifu Heber (Bear) Carrillo, who has over 30 years of training and teaching experience.

Parents who recommend the program on Facebook describe the after school program, vacation camps, and karate school as having great staff, and note that children are picked up by Twin Tigers shuttle vans, have time for martial arts and homework, and can do activities like games and puzzles. One parent mentions being impressed with the amenities and a safe environment designed to help kids with self confidence and self-defense, and another says their daughter is happy and confident and has learned a lot in a short time. Adult students describe the environment as friendly and informative, and one notes that Sifu Carrillo adapted moves and techniques to accommodate a bad knee.
