Did Taylor Lautner's martial arts background help him in 'New Moon'?

"[...] In a recent interview that Lautner did with Metro Canada, Lautner referred to the fact that he did a lot of his own stunts for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.



Some of the those stunts, imaginably, included those contained in the transformation sequences (running, jumping, and the like) that we got a smidgeon of in the trailer.



One look at this black belt at work will show that he is quite adept at those very activities.

In New Moon, Lautner's character Jacob certainly did his biddance to physical prowess in human form (what with all of the motorcycle-wielding and forest-trudging, for instance). However, most of his moments of combat took place in the canine predicament otherwise known as the wolf-form. While a few light tussles got into Jacob's daily life, the brunt of his fight scenes took place in the other form."
