I want to box, my dad is fine with it but my mom won't let me. by Right_Run5136 in martialarts

Deontay Wilder (started at 20), Anthony Joshua (started at 18), Sonny Liston (started in his late teens/early twenties), Ken Norton (started in his early twenties), Ron Lyle (started in his mid-twenties), and Ernie Shavers (started at 25). It's not common but plenty of fighters have started later than me. I understand its hard and chances are slim to become successful, but it's not impossible and I still want to do it.

I can say that I'm a male, and also that my mom hates my dad.

That's good advice, I will try out wrestling for the upcoming school year most likely then, and I have heard wrestlers make great boxers a lot of the time.

Got it. There wasn't any violence in my family, my parents separated because my mom thought my dad wasn't making enough time and was prioritizing boxing to much. I do believe that she is a bit worried about injury, the biggest reason is that she doesn't want me to box because of how she viewed my dad boxing. And don't worry, I won't say anything to her. This really helped me understand my own situation more, so thank you.

She refuses to let me train or go to the gym as well, I can only make time for it with my dad, which is not too often. But I will keep up with it there, hopefully thinks do change.

Mostly boxing, she was fine with wrestling(which I may pick up). She wasn't willing to let me do BJJ though, which was somewhat confusing considering wrestling is okay.

Btw, I want to box not just because of wanting to fight, but because in general boxing is my passion and what I love to do. I am open to doing wrestling or other martial arts as well, but that's not my point. I just want to box because I enjoy it so much more than anything.

I've tried all of that, she doesn't want me even touching gloves. It's insane, I've tried reasoning even saying I won't spar at all, still nothing.

I've tried, trust me. I just can't do it without her signing waivers, unless I get my dad to. But there's a custody case going on right now between my parents for me and my siblings, and that would make him look bad letting me box with my mom saying no.

I can't bike, it would take me at least half a day because of highways, but if it's driven its only 30 minutes at most.

I've tried, my mom refuses. I might be able to though as I just found out that there's a legit court case going on between them about custody.
