Fighting and Weapons Training in HAYWIRE

In Steven Soderbergh's HAYWIRE movie, actors Michael Fassbender, Gina Carano, Channing Tatum went through mixed martial arts and weapons training to play special ops experts.  CineMovie's Naibe Reynoso took to the mats to learn the moves of MMA fighters and counter-intelligence agents with the film's technical advisor.

First Naibe took to the ring at the Glendale Fighting Club for some training as an MMA fighter and learned some self-defense techniques as seen in the video below. In HAYWIRE, director Steven Soderbergh found his leading lady through the MMA competitions. The first-time actress then applied her fighting skills to the fight sequences in the movie which has her fighting Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender who all learned the same techniques.
After Naibe's martial arts lesson, HAYWIRE'S technical advisor Aaron Cohen walked her through some weapons exercise like he did the actors in the movie. Aaron Cohen is a rea-life expert who spent three years in Israel's special operations undercover unit. He is the founder of IMS Security, a consulting firm specializing in providing tactical counter-terrorist training.  For 30 hours a week, Cohen immersed the HAYWIRE star Gina Carano in special operations training for the film.
