Ivanka Trump has taken up martial arts, taking to social media on Friday to flaunt her impressive skills in a video of her training session.
The first daughter practiced the combat sport in a video posted by the Valente Brothers, a trio of siblings who co-own a jiu-jitsu studio. The three brothers include Gisele Bündchen’s boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, who was seen training with Donald Trump's daughter.
In the clip, the 43-year-old wore a white robe and a blue belt, which means she has reached a significant level in her teachings, as it typically requires a minimum of two years of consistent training, according to Page Six.
“Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art,” the Valente Brothers wrote in their caption. “Rooted in ancient tradition and refined over generations, it offers a path to physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance.”
They went on to write that what makes the jiu-jitsu journey even more “meaningful” is “sharing it with those we respect and value,” concluding, “As families, training together gives us the rare gift of growing side by side, on the mat and in life. @ivankatrump.”

Though it's not clear if the two women have crossed paths, Ivanka does follow Bündchen on Instagram.
The supermodel recently gave birth to her first son with Joaquim. She also has two older children — Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12 — with ex-husband Tom Brady, whom she divorced in October 2022. Bündchen and Joaquim met in 2021, when Benjamin began taking classes at the Valente Brothers.

As for Ivanka, she appears to be enjoying Miami life with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three kids.
