The famous Shaolin Temple monks are probably the best proponents of the importance of balance in martial arts. They spend hours each day practicing balance exercises, forcing their bodies to adapt to positions that challenge them. The reason behind the effectiveness of exercises of balance lies in what they do: they force the mind to find ways to make the body work less though the optimization of stances and positions. This transforms the body into a highly optimized, effective, fighting machine.
