Be About It

Jake Peacock is a man of influence; a devoted Christian, husband, athlete, business owner, and coach. Jake was born and raised in London, England with an unexpected congenital amputation of his right hand. The amniotic band was wrapped around his arm in the early stages of development, which stopped it from growing. Being a boy with one hand brought constant bullying and stigmatization for Jake. Because of this, Jake’s parents thought it best to put him in Martial Arts, to teach him self control, discipline, and self-defense. Though many see missing a right hand as a disability, Jake does not. Not long after he started Martial Arts at the age of 7, Jake began competing on the national and international circuit and was a ranked competitor in England.

After moving to Canada at 14, Jake transitioned to full contact, Kyokushin Karate, where he found great success all over the world. It was after he competed in the World Tournament in Tokyo Japan, that Jake transitioned into Muay Thai where he gained further experience training, fighting, and coaching. His impressive talent led to success in the Canadian Muay Thai scene and then winning the Road To ONE: Canada tournament in early 2024, securing a $100,000 contract with the biggest martial arts promotion in the word, ONE Championship. Jake is now 13-1 as a professional with 11 wins coming by way of KO. Jake’s "Be About It" mentality is all about showing dedication through actions, not just words. His attitude is not just about overcoming physical challenges but also about inspiring others to pursue their goals relentlessly with no excuses.

Jake lives on an acreage outside of Calgary with his wife, Christa, and their two children, Charlie and Ellie. He spends his days taking care of the animals and landscaping at home before dedicating time to his training and coaching at his gym, Dunamis Martial Arts. After his training sessions, he ends the day spending quality time with his family. Jake continues to pursue his dream of becoming ONE World Champion and aims to be a role model for all people, disabled or not.
