Finding Confidence on the Mats

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with videography at JJ’s Boxing & Wrestling LLC in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

This was filmed during an open mat session, which is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 PM to 7 PM.

My boys have been going to JJ’s for about four years now, and I’ve watched them grow so much, both on and off the mats. As a father, I want my kids to feel confident in life. To me, confidence starts with believing in yourself and not worrying so much about what other people think.

After years of putting it off, I finally signed up myself.

Since starting, I feel like some of the confidence I lost as a kid is finally coming back. It’s been humbling, challenging, and honestly, exactly what I needed.

If you’ve ever thought about trying boxing or wrestling, stop waiting like I did. Walk through the door. You might find more than a workout. You might find a part of yourself you forgot was there.
