[WATCH] BJJ Blue Belt Ivanka Trump Shows Off Her Jiu-Jitsu Skills
Ivanka Trump has officially gone public with her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey, as footage surfaced of her drilling techniques at the Valente Brothers’ academy.
And, while she’s mentioned her passion for the sport before, this is the first time fans have seen her on the mats…And she’s now wearing a blue belt!
Ivanka began training around a year ago alongside her daughter Arabella.And what started as a shared activity between mother and daughter has since turned into a full-blown family affair.
Her husband Jared Kushner and both sons also joined in, making Jiu-Jitsu a regular part of their lives.They all continue to train under the Valente brothers in Florida, known for their self-defense-oriented approach to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
The recent video clip offers a glimpse of Ivanka executing techniques like the Armbar and Americana, as well as some of the Valente brothers’ signature self-defense sequences, including knife disarms.
She’s not the only Trump family member moving up the ranks, though.Her niece and nephew were promoted to grey belt under Marcelo Cohen late last year, suggesting the family is genuinely embracing the martial art as a long-term pursuit.
