There is a brief scene where she is fighting I believe Tom Cruise with what looks to be bamboo sticks. It’s a brief scene, but looked amazing and I wanted to know what kind of martial arts that is? thanks!

The scene shows her and Tom doing a 2 stick Sinawali drill which is a basic drill/exercise commonly found in most Kali/Escrima/Arnis styles from the Philippines. A rattan stick not a bamboo stick is used in Kali/Eskrima/Arnis.
The common form of stick fighting is called Kali or Eskrima: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskrima
