I am 16 years old and iv had 4 amateur boxing matches and each one i had has taken a hell of a lot of convincing from my mom to allow me to fight. The thing is i do not yet know any sort of ground game and i do wish to do so, but the thing is, my mom does not want me to do any sort of mma training or fighting obviously. Is there anything anyone can recommend i tell her because she gets very worried when i tell her i want to train for this. I have snuck 1 of the amateur boxing matches by her. But she found out cuz there was a picture of me punching a guy in the face in the newspaper. Any thoughts?

wont happen, no mom will approve you just have to slowly ease her in to it
You may want to learn ground fighting first. Join a grappling club or wrestling club and learn the techniques before you make the decision that you want to do mma. Maybe, like the other members have said, this will ease your mom into it. You are not jumping into it with both feet! Good luck!
hs wrestling then after learning a ground game to accopany your boxing youll be 18 and she cant stop ya anyway
MMA has a bad rap especially for those who are out of the so called “loop” when it comes to MMA. MMA is an art just like every other MA. Have your mom stop by some of the gyms with you. Most gyms start slow and progress with skill. Also explain that with MMA incorporates the aspects of Wrestling, boxing, and an assortment of different MAs. I’ve been training for over a year in MMA, I have sustained injury’s common with any sport. The best way to have your mom to allow you to do the sport is just to incorporate her, bring her to the gym, let her sit in on one session and let her see that MMA is a competitive sport, not just a bunch of guys punching each other on the ground.
The best thing to do would probably take her by the school you want to sign up at and have her meet the head people there.
If she doesn’t relent, just keep training on your own until you hit 18.
Good luck!
Just train until you’re 18 and once that time comes, you’re on your own.
Just take martial arts, learn BJJ, kickboxing, just tell your mom you want to learn them for self defensem once you are18 starting training harder in MMA and she cannot stop you, no mom will let their son do MMA if they are against it, you will never convince her to let you but she may let you learn different martial arts, it takes years of training so just tsrating training now and when you are old enough you can begin to seriously get into the sport.
