Do you guys have any good "CORE" exercises?

I heard that the benefits for having a strong core or "pillar strength" are huge. Check out this website. They say that core strength improves the efficiency of energy distribution throughout your body. Any input?

I think having a strong core is vital to being a martial artist, as it decreases chances of injuries. Awesome exercises for the core muscles include planks, which I like a lot. That's the only one I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure that as I start to wake up I'll remember more.

Having a solid core will help any sport. Basically, your core muscles help support everything from balance on down the line, so if your core muscles are weak, then other muscles have to help supplement them. This takes away from their primary functions, and makes them slightly weaker.
