In general, I don't like this kind of applications practice in Push hands when someone suddenly stop from following and let himself be handled any way the "executioner" wants. It's a bit counter-productive and can (probably) build bad habits. Better to keep on flowing and changing and try to counter the attempts to pull of an application. But I also don't like mixing drills with free play. Many do like this, but I believe that it's pretty counter-intuitive as well. When you start, you shouldn't exchange attacks one and one, instead you should follow, fill in the gaps. As soon as it starts, one person already has the advantage and the other one has not. So you should follow his movements and fill in directly and without any kind of pattern or application in mind. But I understand this is just a show-reel, so general thoughts only, just rambling.
I believe that without knowledge of a technique and how/when it might be applied, then that becomes a missed opportunity

This is in line with my understanding of Taiji as being primarily a wrestling art.

That’s your personal opinion only.
Some people use it foremost as a sort of wrestling art, others use it as a punching art, others focus on qinna and yet others see it as a blend of these and other aspects. And still there are other views. . . .
