Kaizen Jiu-Jitsu Academy, in conjunction with Diamond State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is honored to host a charity No-Gi seminar and open mat in memory of Matthew Ty Snook.

Matthew “Ty” Snook was a Delaware State Police Trooper, a dedicated 10-year veteran, and a lifelong grappler. He wrestled for St. Mark’s High School and the University of Maryland, and was a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blue belt who deeply valued the discipline, humility, and brotherhood found on the mats.

On December 23, 2025, Ty was tragically killed in the line of duty while working an overtime shift at the Wilmington DMV. In his final moments, he acted with extraordinary courage—pushing a fellow officer to safety before being fatally shot. 

He leaves behind a loving wife, a one-year-old daughter, and a legacy defined by service, selflessness, and protection of others.

This event is our way of honoring Ty’s life—as a law enforcement officer, a husband and father, and a member of the grappling community.

? No-Gi Seminar Instruction
