As one of the four leading ladies on the phenomenon that is Pretty Little Liars , Bellisario has become a role model to a generation of young women . Now, she’s physically and mentally planning to leave her mark beyond the teen soap.

A scream echoes off the gray concrete walls and sweat drips onto the floor as Troian Bellisario is thrown to the ground and pinned by a 6-foot tall aggressor, who's also more than three time her weight.
But a second after landing on her back with a thud, the Pretty Little Liars star springs into action, screaming, grunting, and kicking at every part of her attacker's body — legs, chest, hands, groin — until he is knocked back, allowing her room to leap up and continue her onslaught, her ponytail swinging in a dozen different directions in the process.
Then, just as she finally gains the upper hand, a smile emerges on her opponent's face and the two high five. "Nice job," her trainer-turned-temporary-nemesis says. "You got some good hits in there."
Bellisario chooses to get the crap kicked out of her (and to kick some crap herself) a few days a week, working with Mark Wildman — a former circus performer who now teaches tactical fitness, aerial fabric, physical combat, and sword fighting — to channel her inner aggression.
