Gisele Bundchen may be retired from life on the catwalk, but from the looks of it, her martial arts career is just beginning to take off. In a video posted to Twitter, the supermodel mom and significant other to Tom Brady showcased her Jiu-Jitsu chops with a stunning display of self-defense. And now we can’t stop daydreaming about getting beaten up Bundchen-style.
It’s no secret that Bundchen was first scouted as a model while eating at a McDonald’s in her hometown of Horizontina. But what many people don’t know is that the 5’11” glam girl has another connection to Brazil, and recently surprised fans by sharing the news that’s she’s secretly been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Her sensei is Miami’s own Valente brothers, whose family trained with Hélio Gracie and now runs a top-end dojo where the likes of supermodels can strut their stuff on the mats.
In the video, Bundchen’s sparring partner can be seen getting thrown, arm barred, and choked so hard his eyes bulge out. Despite how painful it looks, we have a feeling it’s worth every broken bone.
I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the better. I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense. I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. ?? pic.twitter.com/EzUpylXfD4

Fans flocked to Twitter to joke about Bundchen’s Jiu-Jitsu skills being the real reason Brady retired. Whether that’s fact or fiction, the former quarterback no doubt leaves his dirty socks lying around so he’ll have a surprise Kimura to contend with. Wouldn’t you?
