Founder of Legacy Gym and a full-time coach. Over the last five years Jake has taken himself all over the world — training around and under international coaches and fighters to build his skill set and bring it back to Legacy. Now that experience is one-on-one, focused entirely on you.
Legacy Gym has been open fourteen years, with Jake Williamson as its founder. Coaching fighters was never the plan — while he was still boxing himself, Jake started working with a handful of young boxers who wanted to debut in the amateur ranks.
One thing led to another, and many years later, here we are. Fighters out of Legacy have gone on to win at every level, from first-time amateurs to professional champions.
Never thrown a punch, or chasing a belt? Every session is built around you and where you're at.
Jake's view is simple: to get better as a coach, you have to go and see what the rest of the world is doing. He reckons what he's picked up overseas has tripled the boxing knowledge he first built here in Australia.
Over the last five years he's trained under coaches from all over — American, Russian, German, English, French and Uzbek — and spent serious time in South-East Asia, based in Phuket, where pro coaches and fighters gather from every corner of the world to train.
Most recently he's been in the United States, training and sparring with his young pro team across Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The sharpest insights, he says, came from working around the American coaches.
He's already lined up to head back to the States to keep upskilling — and to finally tick off a bucket-list boxing trip through Mexico.
