I love that Po’s super power that made him so special and such a good fighter was the fact that he was fat. He didn’t lose weight or get fit as he trained, and being fat is what saved him. I was never super overweight or anything, but my little sister (who was always WAY taller/bigger than me) was always the biggest kid around, height and weight wise. She really resonated with po as a kid and became her favorite. I just remember how much I loved the movie coming out of the theater, and probably half that enjoyment was just because of how it impacted her
I don't think it's confirmed, but my personal theory is that what Uguei did to Tai Lung was a CHI attack (explored in later movies) and what Tai Lung does to the 5 near the end is just a nerve attack, hitting pressure points.

I also like to think that Uguei's staff breaking was, in a way, Uguei's spirit trying to protect Shifu <3
