Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) hitting full extension. It is this extension that allows the athlete to transfer the power fully from the legs to the barbell. The frame on the left is a still frame of a jumping drill Coach Wu uses to train the motor pattern of the extension which matches similarly to his snatch extension in the right frame.
Along with teaching the body how to be more powerful (at the right timing), jumping in Chinese weightlifting methodology is also viewed as a form of relaxation and recovery.
My favorite shot from the seminar at Crossfit734 (@abrewercf734). Every coach needs a mini helper!

Pulling underneath the bar requires coordination, mobility, speed… and lets face it, quite a bit of courage. A common misconception amongst beginners is the idea that a (squat) snatch or clean requires the athlete to hastily slam rock bottom into the hole.
While this strategy will work with the lower end weights, the challenge arises when it’s time to get after the big numbers. Slamming rock bottom takes away the ability for the system to load the legs well and removes quite a bit of the eccentric load going into the hole.
