...Unlike "push" or the An in the form, he executes with one hand.
Granted, An or a push/shove can be done with one hand.

Why is it always a teacher pushes on a student? If the teacher taught his student right, his student should be able to push his teacher too. If a skill cannot be passed down from one generation to another generation, it's not a valid skill.
Also why does his student start with a square stance and wait to be pushed? Has his teacher taught him that a square stance will give him weak balance in the forward-backward direction?
This video demo can be a better if
- The student stands in a side stance (to show that his teacher taught him to never stand in square stance in front of his opponent).
- The teacher pushes the student. The student yields, borrows the teacher's pushing force, and spins his body (to prove that his teacher taught him how to yield and borrow force).
- The teacher then takes advantage on his student's spinning, and ... (to prove that the teacher knows how to deal with the change).
