The key to losing weight through martial arts involves dedication and willingness to train, focus and discipline on training, and proper nutrition. Although Martial arts training alone can help shed pounds, coupled with proper nutrition is the key. All three mentioned components must work simultaneously to enable weight loss through martial arts. Proper nutrition involves eating foods that are rich in vitamins, protein, essential fats and minerals to give the body health and strength. The training part involves burning body fat making your body lean faster. Some of the best weight loss martial arts forms include the following.

Karate

The movements demand a lot from the muscles making this martial art form excellent for burning fat underneath the skin and building muscle. Mastery of Karate requires regular training to build strength and sharpen reflexes. This will help you burn calories and shed fat.

Kung Fu and Taekwondo

Kung Fu is quite diverse. It has many disciplines, each involving complex movements that combine jumping, punching, kicking and other body movements. Training is geared towards increasing flexibility and speed. Taekwondo on the other hand focuses a lot on kicking and footwork and requires a lot of body movement. Training in either or both arts will provide a good cardio and strength workout which will accelerate your fat loss.

MMA, Kickboxing and Muay Thai

These three disciples are quite intense. Perfecting any of these requires that your body be physically and mentally fit. The key to mastery is power, speed and endurance. A single training session works on all three aspects and the intensity of the session will burn fat deposits fast.

Tai Chi
