Seems to be a very common word, not in CEdict yet, and not in various other dicts either, such as New Century, New Age, FE and Dr.eye.
ABC has it as "wash one's hands of an affair" but I haven't found an example of that usage so far.
Anyway, I don't see any dictionary that has both of these more common senses of "driving force" and "pushing hands".

一種運動。由太極拳演變而來,古稱為「打手」。每局比賽限時一分鐘。比賽方法以每局四人為一組,二人為選手,一人為裁判,另一人為副裁判。推手的技巧僅能以推手和拉對方肩膀以下、腰部以上的部位,將對方推出或拉出圈者勝。推手的要訣在於化解對方推逼,保持自身穩定,乘勢破壞對方平衡,使其傾跌。特點在借力使力,以弱力勝強力。

Pushing Hands (Chinese: 推手; pinyin: tuī shǒu) is a film directed by Ang Lee. Released in 1992, it was his first feature film. ... The title of the film refers to the pushing hands training that is part of the grandfather's t'ai chi routine. Pushing hands is a two person training which teaches t'ai chi students to yield in the face of brute force. T'ai chi ch'uan teachers were persecuted in China during the Cultural Revolution, and the grandfather's family was broken up as a result. He sent his son to the West several years earlier and when he could he came to live with his family with the expectation of picking up where they left off, but he was unprepared for the very different atmosphere of the West. "Pushing Hands" thereby alludes to the process of adaptation to culture shock felt by a traditional teacher in moving to the United States.

Pushing hands or tuishou is a name for two-person training routines practiced in internal Chinese martial arts such as Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, T'ai chi ch'uan (Taijiquan), Liuhebafa, Quan Fa, Yiquan.
