1) Run. Run is perfect. If you can run, f*cking run. Definitely run. 2) Nuts. Nuts is always good. Nuts and eyes. Don’t do it unless you mean it though. Don’t strike a dude in the nuts just because you can. But if you need it, nuts and eyes are good. 3) And if you’ve got time to train, do Ju Jitsu. Because no dude is going to want to rape you or mug you standing up like that. If you can... [Read more]

ON QUENTIN TARANTINO: I first met him because I was traveling to Canada for a holiday to check it out because I didn’t think I could work in America. I didn’t have a headshot. I didn’t have a resume. I didn’t have sh*t because in New Zealand, there’s like four stunt women. If you want the tall one that can flip and fight, you call me. If you want the short one – do you know what... [Read more]
The split second before I hurt my wrist on Kill Bill, which was my second injury, I remembered thinking – I was worried for my mom, and dad and my brother because they were going to have a vegetable daughter and I knew that would devastate them. That was literally the thought that went through my head. It wasn’t even terror. I knew I was going to miss the mat. Missing the mat meant landing... [Read more]
How do I explain it? I was in a harness in wires. I had to do a front flip off a second story balcony. Such was physics that I didn’t study it at school and maybe I should’ve. My coordinator was like, “I don’t know if we’re going to be able to make that work.” And I was 19, and invincible, and I was like, “Let me give it a go. I’ll make it work. I’m sure I can and if it doesn’t... [Read more]
When I was two, mom and dad bought me a trampoline for my birthday. I was learning to do back flips at five, just my dad going, “One, two, three,” and throwing me in the air and hoping I landed on my feet. I started doing recreational gym from when I was about nine. And then at 15 I got too tall and it was just time to stop. But I would still train with my gym coach because I was fidgety and... [Read more]
Waiheke Island is a small island off the coast of Auckland in New Zealand. It used to be like an hour 45 boat ride with water sloshing around your feet, getting wet. The population was quite small. It was all sort of hippies, alternatives, pot growers, pottery makers, and candle makers and farmers. And then modern transportation sort of took over, and now it’s 35 minutes, and you get a coffee,... [Read more]

“I know this sounds ridiculous, but I’m not much of a fighter,” says Zoe Bell, despite a mountain of evidence suggesting otherwise. Born and raised on a small island off the coast of New Zealand, Zoe soon moved to the mainland and then to the US where she’s been flying through the air, kicking and punching people, and riding on the tops of cars ever since. While known for her death-defying... [Read more]
Welcome to Girl2Watch! After a great week with Gabrielle Dennis, we’re truly honored to feature legendary stuntwoman and recently turned actress Zoe Bell.
