Did The Turtle Invent Kung Fu?


Shifu mentioned that Oogway unlocked the secrets of Kung Fu at the mountain.

But he also mentioned that this place was the birthplace of Kungfu.

Did Oogway invent Kung Fu or did he just add to the art?

reply

Oogway invented Kung Fu as form to denfend to defendless/weak. I think it's stated in the Art of Kung Fu Panda.

Shifu was Oogway's student. Oogway died, Shifu is now head master of Kung Fu in the Jade Palace where all the 5 and Po live.

But I remember reading it in some places

But that finishing move that involved the pinky finger was not invented by Oogway though.

So did he incorporate that move into the Kung Fu that he invented?

reply

Maybe after he invented it there were other masters (like the rhino in the city) and one of them created that move. Oogway saw it, liked and learned it.

Yeah could be. According to Po some Dynasty invented that move and used it. I thought he meant in more ancient times.

It could have been invented during the lifetime of the turtle.

Well he was a turtle. 176 Years is the oldest turtle known to man. lets imagine if Oogway lived for 200....

Oogway is stated in the KFP media to be a 1000 years. The Jade Palace was built 900 years ago to honor him by villiagers in the story.
