Abu was so lucky to meet the *real* Kung Fu Panda in China when he was just a baby — my tai chi teacher, the Kung Fu Grandmaster of Qingcheng Shan (animation of the film is based on his moves). I was extremely fortunate to study tai chi with him and appear with him on stage and screen.
As you can see, training in tai chihuahua with the real Kung Fu Panda in his native China had a lasting impact on Abu, because now he insists on literally dressing up as Kung Fu Panda in California. He is staying so true to his roots (he also still prefers Chinese to English)!
