    “Jolie who is known for doing her own stunts, prepared for her role with mixed martial arts style training. Her fight scenes reflect her Krav Maga and Muay Thai training. Jolie havingTomb Raider and Mr. and Mrs. Smith under her belt, gives her the ability to return to Krav Maga with a solid foundation and skill set. Jolie’s long time stunt coordinator Simon Crane says that Jolie was serious about her grueling fight scenes and like many of her previous stunts, wanted them to look believable. Jolie trained in Krav Maga and Muay Thai two hours a day 3-4 times a week to prepare for her fight scenes in SALT.”

    The movies love Krav Maga. It makes sense for the movies as they want fight scenes in the streets etc

    How long before her teacher does the cliche thing whenever an actor trains for a role as an athlete and says "they could have been pro if they dedicated themselves" :roll:

    She learned Krav Maga? Did she learn real Krav Maga?

    If so...HA! Billy Bob Thorton wore the dress in that relationship...and now we know how she keeps Brad on the tight rope. But she's so ****in' skinny!
