Introduction: Chinese martial arts constitute an integral sport, demanding high capacity and physical fitness from its athletes. It is believed that functional balance training can enhance the performance of its athletes, as it strengthens and tones the muscles, stimulating the active proprioception of the executed movements. Objective: This paper investigates the effect of balance training on martial arts athletes and its impact on the execution of complex sports movements. Methods: Under experimental control, 100 martial arts athletes were selected and divided into two groups without statistical differences to perform the experiment. The experimental group added balance training, while the control group followed the usual training script. Sports fitness indices were measured before and after the intervention for statistical analysis. Results: The data regarding the balance index of the experimental group pre was 7.00±0.52, and after the experiment, it went to 8.40±0.47; the functional indices increased from 7.50±0.55 to 8.46±0.42. No statistically relevant changes were found in the control group. Conclusion: Functional balance training can complement daily training routines for greater benefits in martial arts athletes. The improvement of active proprioception statistically increases the ability of its practitioners in the execution of complex movements.
