[edit] History

[edit] Founder of Kung Fu

Oogway was the one who created Kung Fu to be used to protect others. He created the Kung Fu not as a battle tactic, but an art to be used for good and prosperity. This is all that is known about his life. However, it is implied that he was probrably full of questions as a youth, which led to his development of Kung Fu.

It was also Oogway who developed the Dragon Scroll, a scroll containing the "secret" to limitless power. In fact, the scroll was actually ... blank

[edit] Abilities

As Oogway was the founder of Kung Fu, he is considered by many to be the greatest Kung Fu master in history. Even though he's extremely ancient, his skills in Kung Fu are still reckoned as the greatest on the planet. He was able to, during Tai Lung's raid on the Valley of Peace, perform a well placed and quick nerve attack that quickly dispatched him. Not only did he defeat a Kung Fu prodigy who was the first to master the Thousand Scrolls of Kung Fu, but he did so with no effort, in the speed of lightning, and he showed a far more adequate nerve attack then Tai Lung ever demonstrated.

It is apparent that Oogway seems to be reckoned as a god in the art of Kung Fu, as he is greatly respected by Shifu, the Furious Five, Po, the entire Valley of Peace and all of China. Known as the greatest Kung Fu master in history, no one reputation surpasses his (other then the legend of the Dragon Warrior which he created).
