The snatch is defined as taking a load from ground to overhead in one motion, versus the clean and jerk, where 2 motions are needed to take a load from ground to overhead.  At it’s simplest, it is an aggressive jump and land.  On the other extreme, it is one of the most nuanced and technically challenging movements in all of sport and can take years to master.  Learn more about the snatch here
