Lucy learned some basic kung fu moves, sword, and staff work from
Douglas Wong in a brief visit to Los Angeles in 1995. MCA says
"Though she had practised yoga for some time, Lucy had no special
training in martial arts, sword play, or stunt work when she
landed the role of Xena." The MCA site goes on to say that she

nickname was Unco -- short for uncoordinated! She says that she
is warming up to that aspect of the role and really enjoying it.
