Lol... Belfort has been dropped twice by it. It's his cryptonite

It's actually from Aikido, not Karate. Sensei Seagal invented it. The Chinese took a time machine and ripped it off before it was passed on to Okinawa. The Thais also have a front kick, but master Seagal can't account for that.

Interesting old article about the front snap kick, already using Silva's and Machida's KO kicks as examples of perfect technique:
