Pendlay has some of the best videos on teaching the lifts. IMO a few things could have been a tad more detailed though they are still great to learn from.

Here is a sample of where we start kids and begginers.

This is the power snatch.

Same principles apply, obviously with an overhead squat thrown in.

Honestly I wouldnt look to Ripptoe for guidance on the Olympic lifts. The way hes teaching puts way too much emphasis on upward movement on the bar, uses too little legs and way too much back, the lifter hops forward throughout the video, making for a very inefficient power snatch.

Rippetoe does a very good job explaining the physics of a lift, but he does a poor job explaining how to actually do the lift. Learn with Pendlay's video and then you can come back and watch Rippetoe's video when you're trying to fix the little details.

I agree, Rip is great when it comes to training for strength, but many coaches I have met don't like his style for training the lifts. Go to Glenn's site, californiastrength.com and watch the instructional videos.
