I don't live in utah but I'm sure some current or past members of the TTCS are there that probably practice push hands.

The problem with TTCS Push Hands is there is no thought of applications. Being forbidden to practise the martial side of taijiquan means that your push hands will always only be Yin.

Very best wishes

It is actually not a problem at all if your goals are being met. I do push hands for health reasons... to increase my awareness of balance in myself and others, to build strength, and to help my spine.

If your intent is to use push hands for just combat reasons, then TTCS push hands will only get you part of the way there.
