Former first daughter Ivanka Trump is showing a fierce new side in a video showcasing her Brazilian jiu-jitsu training that has garnered attention across social media platforms.
Trump, 43, recently trained with the renowned Valente Brothers at their South Florida facility, demonstrating her growing expertise in the traditional martial art. The session featured Trump executing a variety of technical moves including arm bars and throws with impressive precision.
“Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art. Rooted in tradition and guided by the 753 Code, it builds physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance,”
the Valente Brothers wrote about the training session.
What makes this connection particularly noteworthy is that Joaquim Valente, one of her instructors, has been famously linked to supermodel Gisele Bündchen following her divorce from NFL star Tom Brady. Trump trained not only with Joaquim but also with his brothers Pedro and Gui during the session.
Despite being relatively new to the discipline, Trump has already achieved blue belt status, indicating significant progress in her jiu-jitsu journey. The Valente Brothers, who along with their father Pedro Sr. hold black belts, learned directly from Grandmaster Helio Gracie, one of the pioneering figures of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
The martial art has seen surging popularity among celebrities and public figures in recent years, with many citing its benefits for physical fitness, mental discipline, and practical self-defense skills.
The training video offers a rare look at the former White House advisor’s life outside the political spotlight, as she continues to build new skills and connections in her post-Washington chapter.
