A nerve attack is an advanced and sophisticated kung fu technique given to highly trained combatants. It appears multiple times in the Kung Fu Panda series, although Shifu, Tai Lung, and Oogway used it most effectively.
Description[]
The nerve attack technique briefly paralyzes the opponent by jabbing many pressure spots that restrict the person's chi. The technique's exact execution and results are determined by the user. This talent is most likely linked to the Chao Wa Punch Kick, Paralyzing Touch Point, Nerve Strike, and Five-Fingered Blast Punch.
Variations[]
- Chao Wa Punch Kick: The Chao Wa Punch Kick is a kung fu technique used in the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Master Ping". It was first shown by Shifu as he demonstrated it to Po and the Furious Five by using it on the Adversary.
- Paralyzing Touch Point: The Paralyzing Touch Point is a kung fu technique used in the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "The Maltese Mantis" where it was accidentally used by Po and later undone by Shifu.
- Five-Fingered Blast Punch: The Five-Fingered Blast Punch is a kung fu technique performed in the Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness episode "Five is Enough", where it was primarily used by Pai Mei and later Shifu. This ability is primarily used for making things explode on contact and causing living beings to become paralyzed.
Users[]
Tai Lung[]
Tai Lung delivered powerful nerve strikes. When Tai Lung employed it, he poked his index and middle fingers into a main artery near the heart, briefly paralyzing the victim and sending a blue wave of chi through his body. It also changed the eyes to a dazzling light blue tint.[1]
Oogway[]
Oogway expended far less effort, potentially exhibiting greater mastery of pressure point strikes. When Oogway utilized this technique, he punctured various arteries in the throat and around the lungs with his staff, pinky, ring, and middle claws, one at a time, using a separate digit and his staff to initiate the chain of attacks. In doing so, a golden wave of chi flowed through the victim's body. Oogway's version is significantly faster than Tai Lung's, with his claws moving faster than viewers can see. Oogway's usage of the technique also appears to leave the victim unconscious rather than paralyze them..[1]
Mantis[]
Mantis used nerve assaults less frequently in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. He stabbed multiple pressure spots on a crocodile's back, each jab sending a little blue wave over the area. The bandit was just paralyzed in his right arm, rather than entirely. Mantis indicated that the paralysis might last a few days. Mantis used the same tactic on the chest of a Qidan warrior, but the strike had no impact on the warrior's strong hide.
Shifu[]

Shifu utilizes the nerve attack in Kung Fu Panda to undo what Tai Lung caused to the Furious Five members by jabbing them in different places.
History[]
In Kung Fu Panda[]
Tai Lung utilizes the nerve assault technique to paralyze the Furious Five and then tries it on Po, but fails because it does not affect him, tickling him. Master Oogway executes the Legendary Nerve Technique on Tai Lung, rendering him unconscious rather than paralyzing him completely.
In Legends of Awesomeness[]
Mantis used nerve assaults less frequently in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. He stabbed multiple pressure spots on a crocodile's back, each jab sending a little blue wave over the area. The bandit was just paralyzed in his right arm, rather than entirely. Mantis indicated that the paralysis might last a few days. Mantis used the same tactic on the chest of a Qidan warrior, but the strike had no impact on the warrior's strong hide.
Trivia[]
- This technique is comparable to the Touch of Death technique, which involves jabbing specific places in the main arteries near the heart, temporarily interrupting the rhythm of the heartbeat and therefore paralyzing the target and the approach has been demonstrated to be inefficient against opponents with inherent protective features such as dense body fat or robust hide. In the former situation, the opponent would just feel an extreme tickling sensation.
