Krav Maga.

Dazu die Produktionsnotizen (http://movieweb.com/movie/enough/prod.html):

Lopez was initiated into the potent fighting form of Krav Maga, considered to be one of the world’s most effective and deadly martial arts, which was originally developed by the Israeli military in part to give their women soldiers the ability to defend themselves in even the most excruciating hand-to-hand combat.

Lopez received her training in Krav Maga from martial arts expert Wade Allen, who worked closely with 2nd unit director and stunt coordinator Simon Crane. Crane previously trained Angelina Jolie for her physically demanding role in "Tomb Raider." In explaining the philosophy of the system to Lopez, Allen drove home one consistent point: "In Krav Maga there is only one rule: use everything you’ve got."

But Lopez also discovered something else about Krav Maga -- it’s an incredible workout. Combining self-defense tactics with killer cardio intervals, the system is rapidly becoming one of the fastest growing new fitness trends in America.

Krav Maga came to the United States in 1981 and has been embraced by law enforcement agencies and martial artists who appreciate its no-nonsense approach. The system uses instinctual moves and the body’s natural fight-or-flight reflexes. The exercises simulate real-life conflicts in which adrenaline, fear and fatigue all play a part.

Lopez took to the challenge right away. "She was very keen to do her own stuff and she turned out to be incredibly good," says Crane. "In the end she did about 95% of the stunts you see in the film."

Summarizes Lopez: "Krav Maga is about finding the power within yourself and that’s what really transforms Slim."
