If you get pushed, you can not really control your legs, or how you stumble. If you stumble you stumble, if you hop, then you hop. What you can do and should do if you get pushed, that is relax. If you relax your chest and legs, your weight will sink and the feeling might become like trying to move a sack of potatoes. Then you will not get pushed far away and it will be easy to regain balance. You should never practice to willingly jump or hop backwards. That is really a counter productive practice, with no value what so ever. It will also foll the one pushing and teache him a false sense of his capacity, similar to the "Aikido Uke-syndrome". If one really wants to practice pushing, the partner you should attack or stand in a most neutral manner, not trying to make it harder or easier for the pusher.
