Kar Lok keeps saying he loves the downward roundhouse kick as seen in some K-1 fighters. So this clip is especially for him. The kick is usually called Maha mawashi geri in Japanese. Maha is Japanese for Mach and mawashi geri is roundhouse kick. I guess they call it the mach kick because the kick's speed is like the speed of breaking the speed of sound. The popular name for the kick is the "Brazillian Kick". This is because the Brazilians were the ones who popularised using it in competitions. The K-1 fighters who are known for using this kick are usually Brazillian and have a background in Kyokushin Karate.
