What is the strategy to adopt vs the Marockzy bind in the e6 Sicilian?

Especially in the Kan ... Just the key moves and the general strategy. I find these Sicilians solid and dynamic at the same time more than the French I think, but the Bind is deadly if White knows what is doing ... I would really appreciate a feedback thanks in advance Smile

The starting positions are these:

I actually have a forum on this.  I recommend going into a hedgehog formation and later planning to bust through with d5 or b5.

Thanks I'm asking because there are videos abot this topic at chess.com but they're about d6 Sicilians (Accelerated Dragon etc...). Besides as far as I know the White mainline against the Kan is Nc3 not c4 so the bind is not considered so threatening .

What I like about the kan is that it stops all white early tricks, but the bind had been a problem at least for me
