And we're doing this style of martial arts that's Brazilian, so it's all low to the ground, very influenced by gymnastics ... that's challenging. I'm wicked with the whip. This one's like eight feet long, and when you get that first crack ... oh!" When asked about the costume, she replied, "It's tough. Things fall out, a lot." Mercy.
