It is a martial arts style of fighting combat,
it is very dramatic and expressionistic, it’s a serious fight with a little comedic
aspect thrown in due to it being a kid’s movie.

The objective of this scene is for the furious 5
the protectors of china to defeat Tai Long who just escaped from prison, and he
wants to defeat his master and the Dragon warrior ( PO, the panda) who everyone
sees as a joke, but Tai Long has no idea the dragon warrior he wants to battle with
is a panda. The Furious 5 are acting against their masters wishes in hopes of
defeating Tai Long.
The obstacle is Tai Long is
destructive and amazing at martial arts and will let no one get in his way; he
will achieve his goal no matter the cost, and the furious five are up against a
unwinnable opponent, it is the dragon warrior destiny to defeat Tai Long.
The tactic is the furious five
to hold of Tai Long, long enough for Master Shi Fu to train Po the dragon
warrior in time to defeat Tai Long.

The Fight scene starts 1:30 seconds into the
clip, in the movie this fight scene is toward the end of the film, the
characters resort to violence, because there is no other way to stop Tai Long,
al he knows since he was a young cub was fighting, there is no reasoning with
him at all. The furious five needs to stop him or china will fall. And no its
not a fair fight, to start of its 5 against 1, but still they had no chance of defeating
him from the start, he is a unstoppable force only the dragon warrior can
defeat him. Tai Long wins and moves on to confront his destiny while the Furious
five are broken and defeated, only Po the dragon warrior can save them.

No stunt doubles were used in this scene since
it is an animated film, but the cinematography was done by Yong Duk Jhun

I choose this fight scene because I fell like
even though it was a children’s animated film they did a lovely job of
animating martial arts. I just love how it flows together and how beautiful the
cinematography was in this film and scene. I love how well they fight together and
the small comedic aspects incorporated in it. And its interesting to see
animals fighting in the style that are named after them.

I agree that this is a great example of martial arts. Though, i believe that the furious five weren't trying to buy Shifu and Po time. As Tigress originally struck out on her own. Trying to prove she could defeat Tai long by herself. And that they didn't need Po. The other four joined because their her friends. So in truth their tactics would be using their knowledge and skill in kung fu to defeat Tai Lung. Not to buy Po time. On this same note Tai Lung's tactic's are based on his knowledge of kung fu, and making an example of the five.
