My take-home message was that the secret of Taijiquan is to push your opponent away.

Pushing is just another method of strike training
Increase the speed and deliver it from a point off the body

If A can then project B backwards with a clear push and maintaining relaxed arms without A himself falling (or swaying) forwards or backwards in the process, then I find this translates quite well into short power.!
