Or this mma place:

Im 15 By the way and can't decide.

Answer 1

Your best bet would be MMA. Boxing is good for a fist fight, but what if your opponent knows Tae Kwon Do? Then you're going to have to deal with kicks you weren't trained to handle. Or what if they know BJJ? On the ground boxing is completely useless and you're better of just giving up. However if you learn MMA the you can handle standing fights and ground fights. If you can, then just master several different arts like I have. It's better to know a little about everything then everything about one thing, but it's better to know everything about a lot than a little about everything. I'll give you time to proccess that one. lol.

Answer 2

I recommend going to the boxing gym first and get good with your hands.  As we see now in UFC, the fastest way to end a fight is to punch someone hard.

After you learn how to use your hands and get some real ring experience (at least a couple of bouts), then you can easily switch into MMA if you want, always knowing that you can punch somebody if you need to.

Gotta know how to punch correctly before anything else.

Answer 3

Whoever is paying for it can make the ultimate decision.

Answer 4

Depends . . .  do you want to be a boxer or learn self defense.  Do you want to compete and if so in which venue?  Since they both offer complimentary skills could you do both?  Tell us more of what your goals are and perhaps we can better assist you.  Or perhaps you will answer it for yourself at that point.
