I used to study Kung Fu in my early teens (yep that is me in the pic........17 years old)

During training we were pressured to kick not just head height, but to try for even higher than that.

The idea was that if you pushed beyond what was needed, then a simple, low kick to the stomach, groin or knee would be very easy to perform and thus more powerful.. 

At CrossFit we train snatches so that lifting your garage door is easy.

We train sprints so that running to catch the bus is easy. 

We train deadlifts so picking up your child is easy.

We do Farmers Walks so that carrying your groceries is easy. 

Overkill?

We 're just kicking to the head, and higher...... 

Have you noticed how many people find even those everyday tasks impossible, let alone a bodyweight snatch?
