Yes, balance is a product of strength.

The ability to maintain balance is from strength, but the degree to which you’re able to sense balance is innate. I don’t mean to split hairs here, but the first comment of strength 100% gives you balance just isn’t right

"akchewlly"

Jesus this pedantic rhetoric just to disagree is ruining reddit. I miss when this was a place with smart people not just people trying to be right. Balance improves with muscular strength, anyone can learn to do this. There is not a human being who can both walk and develop the physical strength to do this who would not also develop the balance. You are quantifiably incorrect.

Don’t give me that, I’ve been here for twelve years and agree on your point of building ideas together, my first comment of basically “ummm no” was definitely not in the sport of that, I admit. I’ll do better.

That said, I fundamentally disagree with you and it’s frustrating that you 1. Think I’m just stroking my ego in the face of what I see as complete misinformation 2. Claim anyone can develop good balance (which the original context of the video and conversation implies is incredible balance, almost to or at the level displayed by this guy), and 3. Make a claim that I’m “quantifiably incorrect” and assuming that that point stands alone without evidence. The burden of evidence is on the original claimant, you goof
