Natalie's fighting style

I really liked Natalie's fighting style, very fluid and very graceful. I loved the way it brought her into her opponent's space and slide right in and smack them around. Okay, I don't know how these things work, is it a real martial art or is it something invented by the fight coordinator? If it's real, does anyone know what it's called?

Natalie is using Tai Chi.

It uses the opponents momentum & re-directs it or diverts it to ur advantage.

Good for a smaller fighter.

It is not, of course, "real" Tai Chi. It's an exaggerated fictional version of Tai Chi.

its actually not tai chi anyone who sees tai chi is horribly wrong
she is simply using movie martial arts as is everyone in the movie.
