At first it was suggested she was getting into bjj for John Wick 3 however news just came out that Oscar winner is set to direct and star in her very own mma movie.

Deadline reported Tuesday that the Academy Award-winning actress is set to star and direct in Bruised, a “mixed martial arts action drama” in which she will play the role of Jackie (aka “Justice”), a former fighter who has fallen on hard times. According to the report, the plot will involve Berry’s character dealing with personal problems while attempting a comeback in the cage.

It’s #FitnessFriday once again. Today I’m gonna share with you a few exercises that I do that you can do at home. Over the years I have enjoyed learning to box and shadow box as a way of mixing up my workout regime. The first exercise is shadow boxing with a sprawl. It’s good for the upper body, core and lungs. It’s also low impact and calorie burning. The second exercise is shadow boxing with a sit up. This is also a nice way to build upper body strength and the core! And trust me those punches get heavy after a while. If you wanna get extra with it you can add light weights. If you don’t have weights grab water bottles or even cans of soup. It works, I promise you! I do 10 to 20 reps of each one with a minimum of 10 rounds. However you can modify the reps and rounds based on your fitness level. Swipe once to see the shadow boxing with a sprawl and swipe again to see shadow boxing with a sit-up. Have fun! 💪🏽❤️ #FitnessFridayHB
