Gina Rodriguez is known for her role in Jane the Virgin, but she also took on some action-packed roles that required martial arts training. For her role in Miss Bala, she had to get into shape for intense fight scenes, so she trained in kickboxing, boxing, and tactical combat. She worked with a variety of trainers to perfect her skills, focusing on realistic hand-to-hand combat and self-defense moves. Her dedication to the training paid off, as she performed many of her own stunts in the film, making her action scenes look natural and intense.
