Muay Thai is also an important part of MMA and is also referred to as Thai boxing. If you are looking to lose belly fat then you must consider the MT. Workouts involved in MT are ideal for losing weight fast as they are highly rigorous. MT not only reduces weight fast but also involves muscle strengthening, cardiovascular endurance training along self-defense techniques. MT includes sweeping, striking, and stand-up techniques that apply strong pressure on the muscles and ultimately condition your entire body. Along with the body, mental capabilities are also improved with MT. It is estimated that an hour MT training period can burn up to 1,000 calories. Muay Thai boosts the metabolic rate and ultimately drops the level of calories in the body.
 
5.1. MT’s Effectiveness on the Entire BodyMT is so effective that it will not only reduce your belly fat but also decrease unnecessary body fat as it works on your entire body. That’s why Muay Thai is also referred to as the art of eight limbs. Muay Thai training involves working on both upper and lower body parts. Knees and kicks are considered a major component of MT as they exert pressure on lower body regions, especially on the abdominal muscles. By following the regular MT training programs and associated knees, kicks, and various other techniques, undesired body calories will surely be burned.

1.   Calisthenics & PlyometricsCalisthenics and plyometrics are also very famous in MT as they also tone the body and reduce body weight. Calisthenic exercises simply rely on a person’s body weight. Not any kind of equipment is used in these workouts. For a beginner-level MMA athlete, a few calisthenics are ideal for losing weight.
 
Plyometrics are also suitable for beginners as they involve the use of equipment that any beginner can easily use. Basic equipment includes exercise balls, small-sized dumbbells, skipping ropes, and many more.

2.   High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) 
For the advanced stage, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is perfect. HIIT features high-intensity body movements which are followed by reduced periods of lower-intensity movements.
 
The main goal of all Muay Thai training programs is to completely transform your body by reducing your belly fat and overall body weight.
 
3.   Kickboxing also contributes to reducing belly fat but the main concerning factor is the extent of sparring. Aerobic kickboxing contributes more significantly as it includes the full body workout and can reduce body weight with the repeated training of kicks and punches. Kickboxing targets the core muscles by providing abdominal strength and muscle development. According to the studies, it is estimated that with kickboxing, 440 calories can be burned within half an hour.
 
Other than Muay Thai and kickboxing, skipping, shadow boxing, Barbell deadlifts, Barbell squats, Pull-ups, kettlebell swings, presses, burpees, clap press-ups, and box jumps are also highly effective in reducing belly fat.
