Jessica Alba is very open about her passion for the hadouken, the Street Fighter video game move, and has documented it via Instagram in recent months.

The actress has posted several photos of herself, friends and family in mid-air imitating the moves of Japanese video game characters.

Meaning literally "wave motion fist," hadouken is achieved when a character- usually Ken or Ryu from the popular game- thrusts their palms forward, sending a wave of spirit energy flying toward their opponent.

In several photos posted to Instagram, Alba, her husband Cash Warren, and several others are seen in positions inspired by the hadouken.

"What u know 'bout #HADOKEN," the actress wrote in the caption of one photo taken in April. "Full credit goes 2 @Cashwarren & @justincoit."

Furthermore, Alba went on to post several other photos of herself and staff members from her company, Honest.

"@Hadouken @flywheelsports @baby2baby @surface w/ my homegiels," the 31-year-old wrote on a photo posted on Tuesday.

Alba later added, "My co-founders @honest get in on the #hadouken action-Brian got Christopher and me."

The "Sin City" star also keeps fan updated via Twitter where she frequently posts images of meals and of her young daughters, Honor and Haven.

The Hollywood mom recenty opened up about motherhood and the importance of traveling while on "The View."

"I want my four-year-old to know please, thank you, and hello in every language," said Alba. "So I drill it into her head everywhere we go. She learns it and she's really polite about it."

In the coming year, Alba will appear in films "Escape from Planet Earth," "Machete Kills," and "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For."
