Meet the one armed Calgary muay thai champion

Calgary Muay Thai fighter Jake Peacock was born missing part of his right arm, but it hasn't stopped him from persevering and making his way to the top. Bailey Nitti reports.

I have a paralysed left arm and have recently taken up boxing. More for exercise than for competitive fighting because I’m 57 years old, but I’m wanting to stay fit and strong. That being said, I am extremely competitive and was doing my blackbelt judo training when I paralysed my arm. I have my first sparring session tomorrow morning and Jake’s abilities and successes are an inspiration to me! Wish me well!

I saw him fighting last year @Genesis Center. Trust me he is badass.

You're my Inspiration brother

[@204wpg3]

That's really inspiring way

[@PushupsandSteps]

Jake is awesome!

[@SprayNpreyT]

how does he train chest so good? even the side with no hand is top notch

[@onemotherpucker]

LOFL...The whole thing looks like a HOLLYwood production.

[@kevsuntzu]

Say what you want but as someone who trains muay thai Jake is a huge inspiration. 8-1 with 7 knockouts against opponents who have a significant physical advantage over him. The textbook definition of making the best with what you’ve got

[@2ride_along]

None of that well done script and production diminish the fact that Jake is a SAVAGE LION HEART !

[@leeroyjenkins7317]

What do you think now he is the best in Canada?

[@kevsuntzu]

He’s legit, 8-1 with 7 knockouts in a genuine promotion, all while having a significant disadvantage. You’re laughing but I have nothing but admiration for this man.
