Jake Marion “Realbushido”
Mixed Martial Artist – Enterprise, AL
He is a US Army infantry veteran, who served in the 101st Airborne. After he got out of the army in 2018 he was severely depressed & suicidal. His life was purposeless.
Six months after the army, he started doing Jiujitsu & Kickboxing as an outlet, and a way to cope with the adaptation back into civilian life. Martial arts saved him, and revived his life purpose.
During Covid his gym closed down, & he started solely focusing on Kickboxing & Muay Thai. He took his first fight in March of 2021, and after the fight, he decided that fighting was what he wanted to do as his career.
His goal became, and still is to compete for ONE championship. On this journey he has realized, from the wins, losses & draws… that there is a bigger purpose here.
To him this is not about winning or losing, but rather something far greater…it is to spread the virtues of Bushido. To show the world by example, that honorable & respectful warriors still exist in our society today. These ways are not dead, they are not forgotten.
He is Nak Muay, a spiritual warrior. It is his life’s mission to display his craft, to be a shining light and inspire others. To show that, there is always hope, and that it is never too late to turn your life around.
