In case you were wondering what Daisy Ridley has been up to since the incredible success of her breakout movie, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," she's been working on her Jedi skills.

Here Ridley posted a video on Instagram of her doing wushu martial arts training (which is certainly related to the moves she'll have honed in the next "Star Wars" movie), using what looks like a practice lightsaber.

So @liangstunts (TRAITOR) is WUSHU FRICKING MASTER and I always try to get him to teach me things... This was today!!! Obvs not great but HE'S amazing and he's also featured at the end 😄😄😄 our stunt team are the most incredible group of people, so lucky I get to train with them!

Fun side note: The person who shot the video is stuntman Liang Yang, who is best known in "Star Wars" lore as cult favorite TR-8R, a stormtrooper in "The Force Awakens."

"Star Wars: Episode VIII," the sequel to "Force Awakens," opens in theaters December 15, 2017.
