Excellent tutorial Kyryllo! Very smooth and fluid technique. I'll have to search for your heavy bag video.

I do have one question that echos what Aaron said: Why on earth is this called a "Brazillian" kick??? I was doing this in Shito-ryu 20 years ago. It's called a change-up kick, or like Aaron stated, a fake front to roundhouse. I'm just curious where the brazillian tag came from.

Regardless, it's an excellent technique that will often either surprise your opponent or enable you to slip the kick around the guard.
