I often find that suprising applications come out of push hands and experimentation like this. Just be careful not to apply force but to meditate over Tao te Ching chapter 10, so you do not inadvertently cause damage to your opponent.

Will it be more value (or more fun) to develop such skill than to develop "no contact combat"?
Your thought?
Robert Chuckrow in 2010 wrote:According to that law, if there is a force of 1,000 pounds, it must be exerted on something (or somebody) that (or who) exerts 1,000 pounds back. Here, the force that the opponent exerts would be on you, and you of course would exert an equal and opposite force back on him. But the main idea is not to interact with the opponent in a way that can cause injury to yourself. The goal is to exert minimal force on the opponent and not interfere with his motion—only redirecting his attack to clear your body. Using minimal force on the opponent means that you don’t need a lot of strength. It also means that he will, by Newton’s third law, use minimum force on you, which lessens the chance that you will be injured. Not interfering with the opponent’s motion means that he will be more likely to over-extend and lose his balance. Then, he will either fall or pull back. If he pulls back, you can easily push or hit him.

On top of that if I actually circle to the right, I’m only fighting half a person. I am really sitting on a jab, hook or left leg. If you know what’s coming it’s so much easier to fight somebody.
