I'm not really training enough MA to notice if KB work provides the famous WTH effect, but they can be a great tool for strength/mobility/power.

Fundamentally, working on mobility and greater range of motion, as well as power/power endurance (kb jerks, snatch, swing, long cycle) is bound to have some carry over.

Holding kbs in stances for time is an interesting idea, and I can see how that would apply to the arts you practice Dave. What sort of benefits have you noticed?

Are you an IKFF/AKC couch yet?
