If you've never done the exercise, then how do you know ? Tuishou is a vital exercise for TJQ. You shouldn't discard it from an outside view. There's more to it.

That sums up the purpose of Tuishou pretty well

I'ld be interested to hear what forms and exercises you practice and maybe what forms and exercises do exist in your TJQ that you haven't learned (yet). Would be nice if you added where the exercises come from (like 'this is an exercise I have adopted from the XY branch/teacher X'). Did you add something to your personal curriculum (heavy bag, kettlebell- or dumbbell training, drills from other arts) ?
