Push Hands is a more in line with grappling related arts, which many "internal" martial arts have a strong base in. You learn to detect the kinks in your structure and learning to feel and neutralize oncoming pressure. Its not Chow Ga Mantis or any of the other arts I have trained in but I find it really fun, relaxing and educational. 

We were more or less following the rules of Taichi Push Hands - so not much movement with the feet.
