This is a bit of a different video for me, but one I wanted to make for a while now. I don't just deal in history, but also philosophy. Some of the best conversations I've had have been on philosophy, religion, and life lessons. When I first watched Kung Fu Panda, I didn't pay much attention to the story, but instead wrapped myself up in the fun animation, humorous comedy, and the martial arts. I've trained in Tiger style Kung Fu, so I gravitated a lot towards the animal styles and the creative ways they implemented them.

But I watched it again recently, and I discovered a lot more there than I expected. I want to do a few videos where I share my thoughts on Kung Fu Panda's unique philosophies and martial principles, and I wanted to start with Oogway and the Daoist lessons we can learn from his character. This was a fun little video to throw together, and I hope ya'll enjoy what you see.
