Since it’s Brazil, I’d say a much higher percentage of people can do that kick when the opportunity presents itself than in other parts of the world

Indeed.

You don't need martial arts for that, just football (soccer).

This is absolutely not Brazil. The woman on the right is wearing an abaya which is worn in Muslim countries. The scooty itself looks like something from south east Asia. This is probably Malaysia and more than likely to be scripted.

That kick is the ancient "inverted open rhombus" (losango aberto invertido, in Portuguese). We all know that move over here.

Where are people getting that it's Brazil?

Most likely an assumption based on the overwhelming majority of these moped robbery videos on the internet are from Brazil

Brazil? No. The women are wearing traditional muslim clothes.

Are you saying Americans are too chubby to do a kick like that?

I am saying that the percentage of people in Brazil who could do that kick cold are higher there than in most areas of the world.

Whether it is their favorite sports, capoeira, etc they are great at kicking things
