We reported a few months back that a huge portion of Anne Hathaway’s training regimen for Catwoman included excercise and stunt training followed by dance classes to maintain grace. Now we are getting reports that she is receiving training in the martial arts to promote fluid movement and throat-punching.

The folks over at CinemaBlend have the scoop on Hathaway’s latest training for her rigorous role in The Dark Knight Rises. When asked how her body is adjusting to the physicality required to play Catwoman, Hathaway responded with her usual vigor.

Honestly, and I don’t mean to sound arrogant– like a fish to water. I adore it. I absolutely love it. It’s kind of for me the difference between cooking and baking. Acting is more like cooking, where you’re like “How does this taste?”–you’ve got to feel it a little more. Baking, you put a cup of flour in there, and everything’s going to turn out ok. If you measure correctly and make it with love it’s going to be delicious. And that’s what I love about action, there’s noticeable results. Do this many sit-ups and you’ll be able to get your leg higher. And I’m probably able to have such a nice time because my stunt team is off the hook amazing. My stunt double is the coolest, toughest, sweetest woman I’ve ever met.

When asked about the training, Hathaway didn’t say what type of martial art she was learning, but she did mention that it was specifically to make her look poised, fluid and graceful.

They’ve given me a martial arts exercise that I have to do all the time to teach me grace and proper stance and fluid movement. It looks so gentle, but when you’re actually doing fight choreography it’s “Oh my gosh, that’s actually a block.” Oh, I’m hitting somebody’s throat right now. It’s been a lot of fun, it’s been a new challenge. I’d really like to do a lot more of it. It’s not something I ever thought I’d do.

So what do you think? Are you excited to see Anne deliver a graceful beatdown?
