push hands

This is my first post here. i am relatively new to the chinese arts ( bb in tkd ) and i

am very intested in taiji especially push hands. these techniques seemed

streetworthy and looked like something i could add to my arsenal. also i know i

really should try to find an instructor somewhere but there seem to be none in my

area so does anyone think it is possible to get the basics and learn enough to be

proficient at pushing through videos and books?
