How a nude model stays in shape: I’ll do my Forza. That is a sword class taught by Ilaria Montagnani. It trains you to diminish the ego. She takes it from the Japanese principle of sword fighting, to be accurate with the cut. Everyone thinks you cut with your arms but you use your entire body to initiate a cut. Then I take her kick-boxing class. We follow her wherever she teaches.
