GLIDE IN FRONTAL PUSH
This video clip shows a progression from stationary Pushing Hands to mobile Pushing Hands. There should be leverage in pushing. One should push from his back leg, and not from his shoulders. This gliding in to push is meant as a practice to develop certain skills. In actual combat the practitioner could have struck the opponent. Secondly, it is very important to “close” or “cover-up” the opponent so that it would be difficult for him to strike while you push.
