Death of David Carradine.......

It's so sad to hear of the death of David Carradine.

He was the inspiration to many people to start training in Kung fu.

Although his history is regarded as controversal because of his casting as Kwai Chang Cane back inthe 70's instead of Bruce Lee. the not violent approach he took in protraying the renegrade Shaolin monk inspired many people including myself to study and to delve into the more spiritual side of chinese martial arts.

Many people said he did not have much talent in kung fu, but as a child growing up in the 70's I loved the "kung Fu" series as it took a radical approach in not showing Kung Fu as just a method for hurting people, but as a method to peace.

My dream as a child was to walk the desert with my "boots over my shoulder".

My thoughts go out to his family at this sad time.

Davie Carradine rest in peace.
