JENNIFER ANISTON - ANISTON USES KARATE TO OVERCOME 'PROBLEMS'

JENNIFER ANISTON has turned to martial arts to help her overcome "emotional problems" following her separation with husband BRAD PITT last month (JAN05).

The Hollywood actress has become hooked on a form of karate called Budokon recommended by her former FRIENDS co-star COURTENEY COX, where the training sessions double as therapy.

Aniston's Budokon teacher CAMERON SHAYNE says, "Jennifer takes classes three times a week.

"In Budokon your body and the way you move is a reflection of what's going on emotionally.

"I'm more than a trainer. Jen talks to me about her emotional problems."
