What is Po’s signature technique called in the first Kung Fu Panda film?

Po’s signature technique in the first Kung Fu Panda film is the Wuxi Finger Hold.

The Wuxi Finger Hold is an advanced kung fu technique associated with the Dragon Warrior. Po uses it against Tai Lung during the film’s final confrontation. The move involves holding an opponent’s finger and declaring the technique, after which a supernatural shockwave sends the target away from the mortal realm.

Po initially does not understand the technique’s significance. Master Shifu demonstrates it earlier in the story, and Po later uses it when he realizes that his unusual approach to kung fu can succeed. The moment is followed by Po’s playful exclamation, “Skadoosh,” which became one of the character’s best-known catchphrases.

The Wuxi Finger Hold is fictional and should not be confused with a documented traditional martial-arts maneuver. “Skadoosh” is the associated spoken catchphrase, not the formal name of the technique.
