I just completed Snatch Level 3 and couldn’t be happier, getting ready to start Level 4. The course is very detailed with great videos to learn from. Taco has been very quick with replying to my emails and giving me helpful, concise feedback so I can improve. If you’re considering signing up I highly recommend pulling the trigger. You won’t be disappointed
