Hot Israeli model Bar Refaeli didn't need Pop Sugar's new poll to affirm her status in a two-piece but extra accolades never hurt.

In the online gossip forum's online poll, the 24-year-old model and actress was voted #1 "Best Bikini Body of 2009".

The star, who's also known for her relationship with sexy Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio, whips up her sleek, bikini body with a variation of mixed martial arts, called Krav Maga.

The combination of martial moves is a work of self-defense maneuvers that comes from her native country of Israel.

According to Livestrong.com, Krav Maga is different from more traditional forms of mixed martial arts (like the kind Twilight's Ashley Greene) because it teaches students more than just moves and coaches students to put moves together that neutralize real-life attacks.

In Krav Maga classes, Livestrong.com says students learn "to assess a situation and prioritize the immediate threat." Adding, "the person should neutralize the immediate physical threat; the person should then prevent the aggressor from attacking again, by whatever means necessary."

Running in second to Bar's hot body is Victoria's Secret runway model Miranda Kerr and 40-year-old actress Jennifer Aniston was barely edged out for third by actress and mom Jessica Alba.
