In a flashback, when Tai Lung was raging against the town (from not being chosen to be the dragon warrior) he tried to take the dragon scroll Oogway had to stop him with a Chi-based nerve attack.
When the Furious Five thought they could take down Tai Lung and fought him when he finished them he used the same ability but in a different style.

As shown in a scroll detailing the past, when Oogway was badly injured, a medicinal Panda village used Chi to bring him back from the brink of death. After healing, Oogway stayed with the Pandas to learn this new power, but his brother-in-arms Kai grew envious and wanted the power all to himself for darker machinations. Oogway did not let this come to pass, and remorsefully banished his former friend to the Spirit Realm.
500 years later, Kai returns and Po and Li both go to the hidden Panda village so that Po may learn this gift and use it to defeat Kai. However, Li Shan reveals that he lied -- over the centuries, the Pandas have forgotten how to use the technique.
Tigress and the panda villagers using their chi
During the final battle with Kai in the Spirit Realm, Li Shan, the Pandas, the Furious Five and even Mr. Ping tap into their Chi and assist Po from the outside, giving him the ability to release his inner dragon. A creature made of Chi, Po projects it into Kai, who happily accepts it until it proves to be too much and causes him to explode.
Trivia
- Chi (traditional Chinese: 氣?; simplified Chinese: 气; pinyin: qì) literally translates as "breath", "air", or "gas", and figuratively as "material energy", "life force", or "energy flow".
