Fighting More Than Just Opponents: How Cesar and Putasos Inspire Mental Health Awareness Through Boxing
In an era where mental health awareness is gaining the recognition it deserves, one brand is leading the fight—not just with high-quality products, but with a powerful mission. Putasos, a veteran-owned fight brand, is making waves in the fitness and wellness community. The name 'Putasos,' Spanish slang for knock-out punches, embodies the brand’s commitment to helping individuals battle life's toughest challenges, from PTSD to anxiety and depression.
Founded by a combat veteran who served two tours in Iraq, Putasos is more than a brand—it’s a movement. Driven by the founder’s personal battle with PTSD, Putasos exists to empower others to fight back against mental health struggles, armed with premium boxing gear and an unyielding message of resilience. "Throw punches, knock out punches" isn’t just a slogan; it’s a call to action for anyone facing the invisible battles of mental illness.
A Giant in Every Sense of the Word: Cesar’s Story
Cesar, a combat veteran, police officer, and unwavering supporter of the veteran community, is the embodiment of the Putasos spirit. Towering in both stature and character, Cesar’s journey is one of strength, service, and relentless dedication to those in need.
After serving in the military, Cesar transitioned into law enforcement, where he continues to protect and serve. But his commitment doesn’t end there. As a staunch advocate for veterans, Cesar ensures that no one fights their battles alone. He has been a constant presence in the Putasos family, championing the brand’s mission and inspiring others to take up the gloves—not just to train, but to heal.
“Cesar is a true giant—not just physically but in heart and purpose,” says the founder of Putasos. “He reminds us what it means to fight with everything you’ve got, both for yourself and for those around you.”
The Mental Health Benefits of Boxing
Boxing is not just a sport; it’s a lifeline. Research shows that physical activity, particularly boxing, can significantly improve mental health by reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. The discipline of boxing provides a structured outlet for aggression and stress, channeling energy into physical activity that strengthens both the body and the mind.
A study by the American Journal of Psychiatry found that regular exercise can reduce the incidence of depression by up to 26%. At Putasos, we believe boxing is more than a workout—it’s a therapeutic tool, helping individuals like Cesar and countless others reclaim their strength and purpose.
