> It turns out, that organs in the belly aggregate fat around them, and being hit in the stomach discombobulates the fat particles.

I so want to believe this but really?

This 100% horse shit, or just surprisingly clever trolling. I used to box many years, sparring 12 rounds every thursday. What ”discombobulates” fat is the insane amount of cardio at the very near and above your top heart rate. Exercise where you are punched to the stomach repeatedly is to learn how to flex your abs so that you are not dropped with one hook to the belly. And there is plenty of fat boxers, just look at Tyson Fury or Andy Ruiz Jr.

[EDIT] My idea there, is that internally fat individuals[1], are having trouble exercising parts of their body located near their center of mass, even if they are athletes. Not all athletes obviously, but most of them. Being hit by some other person at that area, seems the most efficient way to remove the fat particles. The only thing I had to do, is find a way to emulate it, but with less danger and not requiring a second person.

Spot reduction / targeted fat loss is considered "disproved" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_reduction, https://www.yalescientific.org/2011/04/targeted-fat-loss-myt...

General fat loss will remove fat anywhere, area specific exercises will tone said area (like abs) which will make them feel firmer which gives the impression of fat loss in a specific area.
