Gisele Bündchen is the world’s most famous supermodel. She is independent and empowered in every sense of the word. But there is some advice she shared with all the women who listen to her. They should learn self-defense.

Bündchen showed her Jiu-Jitsu skills earlier this year. And she recommended every woman to learn this special skill to find real empowerment.

Gisele Bündchen recommends self-defense 

Earlier in 2022, Gisele Bündchen shared a video of one of her Jiu-Jitsu sessions with the Florida-based Valente Brothers. In the video, she takes on a man twice her size. But her special skills in Jiu Jitsu allow her to take him down easily. And that is what she recommended for every woman. For her, it builds confidence.

“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,” she wrote in a tweet accompanying the video in February 2022.

Even her then-husband, NFL great Tom Brady, seemed to agree. Brady, who had retired from professional football then, said that his days of keeping the dishes in the sink are numbered. But in the end, his retirement days were numbered as he returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a few weeks later.

Bündchen the Philanthropist 

Apart from being a legendary supermodel, the Brazil-native has worked on the upliftment of women and the marginalized sections of society. She supports at least 12 charities and foundations working in the field of women empowerment and environmental causes.

She has worked and is working on various causes related to women like her own ‘The Luz Foundation.’ The foundation works on the goal of empowering young women. This is done by providing access to basic needs for the said women and their families.

Bündchen could do all this because she had the confidence in her to make a difference. She is giving back to the society in form of advice and social causes.
