This started as my fight…

Ralph A. Sarabia, LCSW

Founder | U.S. Marine Combat Veteran | Mental Health Warrior | California-Approved Fight Brand Owner

Ralph A. Sarabia is a Marine Corps combat veteran, licensed social worker, and the founder of Putasos Fight Apparel—a fight brand built from blood, sweat, and soul. After serving two intense tours in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, Ralph came home with invisible wounds and the crushing grief of losing 16 brothers in combat. The aftermath nearly broke him—spiraling to 300 lbs on VA meds, drowning in depression, and trying to outrun demons with no name.

But Ralph has been a fighter since he was a kid—boxing was his outlet then, and it became his salvation again. He threw putasos (hard punches) at everything trying to destroy him: PTSD, anxiety, excuses, and doubt. And in that fight, he found purpose.

Today, Ralph is a licensed therapist who’s helped hundreds of veterans fight back and win mentally. He’s also the powerhouse behind Putasos Fight Apparel—a California State Athletic Commission-approved fight gear brand that represents those who battle in and out of the ring. More than apparel, it’s armor for warriors.

This isn’t fashion. This is a mission.

This is for anyone who’s been hit by life and chose to swing back.
