I remember as a child being glued to this series. I, at that early age admired the calm and reserve exhibited by the Eastern masters of the martial arts, and still do. There is something of the sacred in the martial arts, especially as it was depicted in this series. The perennial good in Eastern context. Very enjoyable to a small Western girl, who saw them as benevolent heroes and guides, possessed of strength and wisdom. For some, this series was the very first exposure to the Eastern traditions, where calm, discretion, and restraint were viewed as positive characteristics. A little different vibe from say the many series on Western hero lore. Peace alchemistra Yes, andras, moments from this show have come flooding back. I remember as a child being glued to this series.

I heard about his death on NPR which shocked me a bit and now I'm also looking for it on DVD. Thanks for the Amazon link. Peace and Blessings be upon you and yours.
