Sensei Hanratty discusses why he's not a big fan of the side snap kick.

He also touches on the following:

-The power sources of rotation, counter-rotation, vibration, lifting/dropping, and pendulum

-Proper delivery of kekomi

-Role of kime in kicks

-Importance of returning to “ready position”

-Why, “If you have to block, you’re probably to late”
