Strength in your Core

The common misconception to strength is that your power comes from the big muscles that you can flex and see in the mirror.  When in reality, real power comes from the small core muscles that may pay little attention to.  Like a fighter, who derives his power from his core and legs when he throws a punch, you have to pay special attention to the core muscles in order to hold your adjustments. 
So what are the core muscles?
They are the abs, internal/external obliques, quadratus lumborum, lumbar paraspinal muscles, gluteus and piriformis, all the pelvic bowl muscles.  These muscles help to make sure that you keep your center of gravity as balanced as possible.
