This would not just mean their PH approach is wrong but also their form practice approach has been wrong for a long time.

Exactly, leg awareness is fundamental, if you don’t have that(as an longtime practitioner) if you do not have that even during a “set” exercise, your practice has not been proper. I wouldn’t expect beginner to have it, so with them I make a hint, to help them grow. With more experienced practitioners that i sense their legs are missing I hint to make understand something is missing.I’m a gentle guy so me making hints never come around in a bullying way.

Yes, I'm listening. Of course.
Actually I agree basically with both your more recent posts here.
Yes, the aim of push hands is not to be "good at push hands". It's part of training to be "good at Tai Chi Chuan". . . .
Yes, which is still not the same as sparring, I know ).

Those trainings were not about learning the specific techniques or exploring the skill in any systematic way, but they were more like rough playing. Other types of training, on the contrary, were quite demanding: we did a lot of weight lifting, stretching, also other strength excercises to develop fitness and muscular abilities. . . .
I was taught, for example, some external martial arts as well, particularly sanda and shaolin kungfu. . . .
