Osu.

Back in Iraq my sempai called it simply "tringle" which is an abbreviation for "triangle-kick"
in fact, ALL of the guys in iraq call it that, different karateka training under different Sempai.. i guess its the official name for it in iraq as stated by head of the iraqi branch..

now, if it was me, SanKaku-Geri is reasonable, cuz the leg does take the shape of a triangle en route to the face..

I learnt this kick before I came to my senses and started training kyokushin, I learnt it from a TKD instructor in Christchurch, though his technique was to feint to the lower leg and use the momentum of that feint to throw the maewashi up.
There is a bit of a differance in terms of the arc of travel but it is essentially the same kick.

texeira use this kick in this is kyokushin clip

Here in Brazil we call this kick "tate kubi gueri".
Ulisses Isobe, son of Shihan Isobe, have mastered this kick and it's TRULY beautiful to see.
Not that beautiful to be hit by, though.

I´m brazilian too and I only know it like "Brazilian kick" or "Tate Kubi gueri"

[Sonik]

In fact they call it tatekubi geri (at least in Brasil). You can check the brasilian website and search for Ryuji Isobe.

Osu.
i have seen the kick in TKD circles for a while also, i think they refer to it as whip kick also. i dont speak portugeuse but in espanol it would "gaganta geri" . could it be called "Jodan osotomawashi geri", and is it not the same kick used to attack parts of the leg except it is executed at jodan...

Brazilian Kick: I fortunately practice at Jonan Shibu where the likes of Tsukamoto who use this kick once was. (Until 1996) The various organizations seem to refer to the move in different names... See below list for reference. It's one of my favourite moves and I use it quite a lot too...

IKO1: Tate Geri, Kesa (Cleaving) Geri, Brazilian Hick Kick, Kubi Geri
IKO2: Mahha (Mach) Geri

Hopefully this will be helpful.

Mits: Jonan Minato Shibu (1st Kyu)

OSU, I have an old photo, published by Mas Oyama in the program book of the 1984 World Championships, and the technique is official announced as Domawashi Kaitengeri (Japanese) / Roll Kick (English).

I kind of suspect that you are mixing up the techniques. the brazilian kick is not the same as the rolling kick.
This is Tate kubi mawashi geri (aka: tate geri, kubi geri, tate kubi geri, maha geri or the brazilian kick -whatever you prefer to call it):

(This example is done with the back leg. Feitosa excell in doing it with the front leg)

Basically it is a mawashi geri that switch direction half way through. starting in a sharp upward angle, then turning into a sharp downward angle -slipping over any gard raised to block the upward angle kick.


This is domawashi kaiten geri (in two versions. Yoko & mae domawashi kaiten geri):



Basically a forward roll, with the kicking foot passing higher than the kickers body.

At least in most major media, they call it brazilian kick. Just that it's the Japanese pronounciation so it becomes bu-ra-ji-ri-a-n-ki-kku ("bulajilian kikku" in sound).
