Denis Kanygin Science of Kettlebell Sport - The Snatch 

best tutorial for snatch i have seen, very concise and to the point cheers

A true master. Lovely detail and insight. Thank you for sharing this :)

nothing but the truth going on here great video!

because they're two different exercises. they share the name because the name is descriptive of the type of movement. 'to snatch': "a. To grasp or seize hastily, eagerly, or suddenly. b. Sports To raise (a weight) in one quick, uninterrupted motion from the floor to a position over the lifter's head." the shape of the weights themselves necessitates different types of motions to snatch them, due to the way the weight is distributed, and how it moves in relation to the hand.

nice quality there, my Q is as opposed to RKC style, in sport style you do not have an arch in your back (to keep it straight), why is that and wouldn't it hurt your back? nice video again. thanks in advanced.

Why is it that I never see anyone perform a kettlebell snatch in the same manner that olympic lifters do? Sorry if the question is dumb, I am just getting started in kettlebell training.
