Ivanka Trump drew widespread attention on social media this week after posting a video on Instagram showcasing her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training with the Valente Brothers in Miami.
The 43-year-old daughter of President Donald Trump trained with instructors Joaquim, Pedro, and Gui Valente at their studio, where she demonstrated a series of martial arts techniques while wearing a blue belt.
The video included her performing a variety of moves such as chokeholds, armbars, throws, and a knife disarm.

The video opens with Trump bowing to her instructors before engaging in training exercises.
In the footage, she is seen flipping an instructor to the mat, securing a chokehold, and executing a disarm of a simulated knife attack.
The Valente Brothers, who posted the same video on their own social media page, wrote in the caption: “Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art. Rooted in ancient tradition and refined over generations, it offers a path to physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance.”

Ivanka Trump began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with her daughter Arabella, who became interested in the martial art at age 11.
Over time, the rest of the family, including husband Jared Kushner and their two sons, Joseph and Theodore, also became involved in training.
The Valente Brothers are known for their instruction in Gracie-style Jiu-Jitsu, with a focus on self-defense techniques and discipline.
Their Miami studio has trained a range of high-profile individuals in recent years.
The video sparked reactions across social media platforms, with many viewers commenting on Trump’s technique and form during the training session.
While her post included no commentary aside from the emoji, the demonstration marks the latest public glimpse into Trump’s continued interest in martial arts and fitness.
The Valente studio has received additional media attention in recent months following reports that Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen recently welcomed a child with Joaquim Valente, one of Ivanka Trump’s instructors featured in the video.
Ivanka Trump has largely maintained a low public profile since leaving her role in the White House, occasionally sharing updates through social media about family, travel, and wellness-related activities. The recent post marks one of her few public appearances in recent weeks.
No additional statements were made by Trump or the Valente Brothers following the release of the video.
