Actresses Who Kick Butt and Take

Jaime Pressly



Who she is:
Jaime Pressly is best known for her role on the comedy series My Name Is Earlwhere, other than an occasional drunken swing at Darnell, she rarely has a chance to display her fighting skills. But this is one hot butt-kicking babe when the opportunity presents itself.Her skills:
Kickboxing is a part of Jaime's routine workout which is focused on cardio and resistance training but also includes power-lifting and other exercising that work several muscles at once. When making Torque, the actress spent four hours a day in fight training to prepare for the role.
Where to see her skills:
Jaime has had a few roles where she has had to get physical, but the two best would be Torque, where she has an unbelievable but thrilling fight with Monet Mazur while riding a motorcycle, and DOA: Dead or Alive, based on the video game where she most compete against other fighters in a winner take all competition.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Who she is:
Though Buffy the Vampire Slayerwas not Sarah Michelle Gellar's first role, the television series was definitely her vehicle to stardom. When she first appeared in the role, her fighting skills were very limited and required creative camera work to make it appear the actress was actually kicking vampire butt. But over the years Sarah trained in various forms of fighting including several years studying tae kwon do to add validity to her action scenes.
Her skills:
Sarah has stated that for her role as Buffy Summers she used a combination of "kickboxing, tae kwon do, basic street fighting and gymnastics". She has a black belt in karate and it is rumored she has earned a brown or black belt in tae kwon do.
Where to see her skills:The best place to see Michelle's fighting skills is just about any episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Surprisingly, her fighting skills have been rarely used in her film roles, but hopefully that will change in the future.
