I made no assumptions - hence the (facetious) question. But you are making statements that seem designed to be inflammatory.
How important in Conditioning to you

the science of physical conditioning is pretty well proven, the only difference of opinion is how much you need to a street fight, and the guy who is saying "not that much" is already in fantastic shape, so is seeing things differently to those of us that are trying to get there,
after that its information sharing, i did it this way and it worked for me, which it good info and an interesting ,discussion,
you seem to not want people to share their experience, which is what the,forum is largely about, if you just,want,FACTS go on Wikipedia

not hard , just misguided, lots of the folk on here are experts, the opinion of experts is valuable, you could pay a lot of money to get the guidance you can get on here for free,
as it is you appear to just be sniping for the fun of it, if you disagree with any of the opinions stated then say which and we can debate them, you just seem to be objectioning to the fact people are,expressing them

yes indeed its easy to get lost in a middle aged fantasy that you are as good as you ever were, and if you are only comparing yourself to others of your age group, then it can be quite a low standard you are comparing yourself against.
I've just been down the woods do my work out and worked in with two early twenty yo , doing pull ups and dips, they are skinny as hell and a bit patronising, saying careful don't give your self a heart attack. But its a serious reality check on my fitness, i can't do muscle up and they can, i did match them pull up for pull up, in 5x10 ,i can do " wind,screen wipers" and they can't (haha) , but i could only manage 1x10 and 4x5 on the dips whilst they,did 5x10, and they,criticised my form, and they can do one handed press ups and i can't,,,
, so all in all not to bad, i weight 40lb more than they do, but it doesn't half make me try harder,,, but more work to do

Of course there are. I don't think I ever said (or even hinted) that conditioning didn't matter.
What I said was that it's LESS important for defense than for competition.
In my opinion - conditioning the core is key. It is the rock on which the foundation is built.
Conditioning the mind. It will help in any and all parts of martial training. Mental conditioning will help in everything you do in life. But is it for you? Nahhh.

on the subject of excersise, I'm all ways looking for new thing to show off with, sorry build my conditioning, and ive,come up with one I've never,seen done before, so i was wondering if its flash or just unusual? and if anyone else can do it
go in to a push up position, with you feet near a wall, put your feet on the wall, so you are planking with your body parallel to the floor, just holding you feet in place by pushing backwards with your arms, and then whilst maintain you feet pushed to the wall , do push ups,

Core is the ability to function your whole body as one unit. The following training doesn't build up you big muscle. It builds up your core function.

bit I'm asking what muscles make up the,core, people keep saying core but won't answer this simple question.?

What muscles make up stamina?
But yeah core seems to be standard exercise with added stability exercise.
Which would be hard to pin down.
That would be the muscles most used for the techniques you're using. So it varies. Core for a kicker isn't the same (though there will be overlap) as core for a grappler.

As they say in Pidgin [Hawaiian slang] out here....Wha, Google stay broke?
Here. Do a couple of sets of all of these. Later, the parts of your body that really feel worked - that's your core. My guess is you probably knew that.

that's a comprehensive answer, but different than what the other guy has said they are, he has focused on the abs area and lower back, you seem to have included just,about,all the muscles in the torso, with the,exception of the pecs for some reason?I will give it a try.............. the Torso core muscle groups are........

how are you supposed to do a core work out if nobody can agree what/ where the core is?
By picking a definition and working with it. To me, "core" is the muscles with primary involvement in keeping us upright from the pelvis up (so, not the legs,etc.) to the clavicles (so not the neck). Pecs wouldn't be in there.
