Britney resorts to Bourne Ultimatum martial arts for safety

Britney Spears is apparently taking all the possible steps to protect herself and her young sons from a bunch of crazed fans.

Washington, August 23 : Britney Spears is apparently taking all the possible steps to protect herself and her young sons from a bunch of crazed fans.

That's the reason why the pop tart has strengthened security and signed up for Krav Maga, the hardcore Israeli combat techniques that Matt Damon uses in The Bourne Ultimatum.

According to sources, after reading a few crazy fan mails, the 'Toxic' singer is terrified that someone is determined to harm her and her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

"She has beefed up security, informed them of such mail. She is doing her best to make a comeback but she is terrified about the negative attention she is getting. And now she's fighting fit after signing up for Krav Maga training," Contactmusic quoted a source, as saying.

"She realises she does not have the stamina she used to, after having two kids. She is tired, her body does not work the same. She is putting in overtime into working out strength training, and she's serious about martial art Krav Maga," the source added.

The fighting technique, which has previously been studied by Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie for film roles like Enough and Tomb Raider, not only enhances agility and toughness, but also helps lift self-esteem and mental awareness.

"It's definitely perfect for Britney Spears because she obviously has a lot of aggression in her and she needs to get that out. Krav Maga will enable her to do that with a degree of control," John Aldcroft, who teaches the martial art at London's British Academy of Krav Maga, said.

"It will also help her with personal safety issues, especially when it comes to the paparazzi, who seem to crowd her at all times," he added.
