I'm considering treating Shoves something like a Destabilising Strike, actually. Most Shoves aren't enough to knock people down, but they do tend to cause a momentary imbalance and make it easier to follow them up with a proper strike or grapple, as well as disrupting an attack from the shoved party.

Another way to go would be to borrow the Sweep model. It's a non-damaging takedown that will benefit from CP. Treat a strike or shove as the initial CP roll, apply that as a penalty to any rolls to stay upright if you're unstable, or something. Making stuff up off the cuff here, but between Destabilizing Strike and a modification of Sweep, there might be something there.
