I must be REALLY old. I've still got his video tape of T'ai Chi complete with his star ship troopers in the background!!!!
When I look at my student's hair style, I know I'm old. :arghh:

Was in the military when it came out. A lot of jokes from many about Carradine and his abilities.
I was in the RAF then, didn't notice it much to be honest though it may have come here later than when it was first on in the States.

I believe he admitted on a talk show at that time that all he was doing was dancing around, the stunt people did everything else.

I would have burned it, but I used to use it in class as an example of how NOT to do T'ai Chi.

Very best wishes

I was in double digits also.

Wasn't his tai chi tape cooked up by the technical fight director of the show, a southern kung fu stylist I think. Seems I heard something like that long ago.

I would like to have the series on DVD, maybe I'll buy it. I find to my modern eyes the martial arts in the series is lackluster but the part I always enjoyed were the Zen and philosophy of the characters.
