Pandas know kung fu.
Pandas are strongly associated with their native China, and since All Chinese People Know Kung-Fu and All Asians Know Martial Arts, pandas will invariably be skilled in the martial arts. Despite their big size, they will be portrayed as forces to be reckoned with. This trope exists despite, or because of, real-life giant pandas stereotyped as generally being lazy lumps of bamboo-eating cuteness.
Sometimes, the Fighting Panda is a red panda, a similarly bamboo eating carnivoran note A carnivoran in a family closer to weasels, being a musteloid like them, than to bears. "Panda" referred to them before it referred to the black and white bear. similarly native to China.
A specific type of Bears Are Bad News. Subverts the usual stereotype of pandas as lazy or slow and not nimble animals. Also a subtrope of Animal Occupation Stereotypes.

Ranma ½: Played With. Underneath the inanity, hedonism, and laziness, Ranma's father Genma is also a proficient martial artist. Genma is cursed to occasionally turn into a panda, but this form emphasizes the former more than the latter.

Kung Fu Panda:
Played with in regard to Po the panda. Despite being the protagonist and the franchise's title being Kung Fu Panda, Po starts the first film with no martial arts training at all, and spends much of it as the least competent martial artist among the other animals. However, he does eventually grow into the position of The Chosen One, and is a good martial artist for the rest of the franchise.
Po's teacher and master of the Jade Palace, Shifu, also plays with the trope, due to being a panda as well. A red panda, to be exact.

May Chang from Fullmetal Alchemist is a princess of Xing, a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of China, and is suitably trained in martial arts. Her Head Pet, runt panda Xiao May, seems to know quite a bit too in imitation of her, although Shao May mostly runs on Rule of Cute and has no direct impact on the plot.

Jurassic World Alive features Ailurarctos, an extinct genus of Panda as one of the roster's epics. Downplayed in that it shares the same animations as the other bears in the game and the closest thing it has to a martial arts move is it simply pushing its paws forward and roaring similar to a martial artist yelling whist attacking.

Wild Kratts: In the panda episode (season 4), it's mentioned that pandas have an extra thumb which they use to handle bamboo more effectively. Chris and Martin's panda creature powers give them boosted strength and dexterity, which they demonstrate by wielding bamboo stalks like bo staffs.

The protagonist Pancada from The Little Panda Fighter, clearly inspired by Kung Fu Panda, plays with this trope by doing boxing rather than Kung-Fu Fighting. And not really wanting to do that either.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Panda is a large bipedal panda-looking creature (he insists several times he isn't really a panda) who is just as capable of kicking ass as the human jujutsu sorcerers, and unlike most of them, his size and bulk lends itself to a close-combat fighting style. He's actually a sentient Cursed Corpse, meaning Principal Yaga deliberately chose to make his prize fighter in the shape of a panda.

Killing Bites: Brute Panda is a panda theriantrope who participates in the last tournament. Compared to other Brutes, he looks mostly the same as a normal panda, only larger and strictly bipedal, emphasized by him not wearing any clothes. Apart from his Acrofatic fighting style, he makes use of the panda's cuteness to gain the audience's support. And when his transformation is undone, turns out "he" was a Chinese girl all along.
