I particularly liked comparing the earlier parts with about 2/3 of the way through when he starts showing more clearly all sorts of striking methods that he was holding back in the beginning parts. You can see the same moves earlier on but he lets the kid go. Later on he starts leaving his hands in the striking positions long enough for the audience to actually "get" what was going on earlier.
That particular kind of freestyle moving step is something I haven't really seen on youtube before either. It answers, for me, all the questions about why "pushing" someone is meaningful. It's not really. This clip show what push hands should be at it's best, IMO. It is simply a method for training and exploring those skills and techniques that are definitive of (Yang style in this case) taijiquan.
