Much better vid IMO:
YouTube lineageFrom what I remember I figured out pivots on my own from watching boxing while I was doing karate. I wonder if this is traditional karate or an alteration of machida karate? You notice how Chinzo takes steps forward while punching instead of stepping forward.
lol I read Sr Machida added some boxing to make machida karate.YouTube lineage
It is traditional, though I've seen pivoting/angles emphasized more in Wado than in Shotokan. Iain Abernethy (who has a Wado background) always points out how Kata indicate the angles, at which you are supposed to face the opponent (after you move/shift/pivot) - not the angles from which new attackers are coming!

I like to mix teeps and front kicks to mess with the timing of the defense.
I find the front kick a better feint for the Brazilian kick.
And it's also safer if you miss, you wont compromise your balance as much.
But the teep is better for controlling the distance and stop the advance of an opponent. And safer to avoid catching an elbow to the toes/instep or even catching a checking knee...
That one to the liver is a killer...But for me, it's more of a snap roundhouse TKD style (they call it turning kick) than a front kick...
You know I learnt a really great feint from a famous kyokushin karate fighter (Kenji Yamaki) that I try to use. Your post just randomly made me think of it.
When you chamber your knee for a front kick - you purposely chamber your knee high. It allows you to throw a teep to the body, front kick to the face or a brazilian kick. You can literally disguise three different kicks from the same high drawing of the knee. It's incredibly deceptive especially since the chamber looks the same for all three kicks (which is what you're trying to do) - there is very little telegraphing for the guy opposite to figure out what kick it might be. It's especially good if you can mix up all three kicks effectively in punching combinations which is what Kenji Yamaki did.
Although I have to say after trying it often - that you have to be extremely good with teeps/front kicks & brazilian kicks to throw it off. Kenji Yamaki's main kicking repetoire was teeps/front kicks/brazilians kicks/low kicks mainly and that's why he made it work in competition.
I wonder if you have heard anything similar in tkd?
High risk - high reward approach.What do u guys think of Side stepping to get an angle as someone is moving forward and then instead of throwing the front kick to the body throwing it to the head. Kind of like some people do with an uppercut but just with more distance
