The concept of the series is of a quiet humble man who avoids action at almost any cost
Caine (David Carradine) was taught a good soldier is not violent, a fighter is not angry, and a victor is not vengeful
Caine runs a long way with a price on his head for murder He comes to the American West where he travels the countryside facing many pillars of violence He effectively inspires the character with infrequently found qualities for an action hero: grace and self-control, suppleness and rhythmic endurance, speed and patience, tenacity and power
For several years in the Shaolin Temple, Caine learns to exercise and develop his inner strength He learns to make powerful the force of his body Yet he was taught to reverence all against whom he may use such force He comes to know how weakness prevails over strength, how gentleness conquers, how he seeks victory in contention
With an emphasis on Buddhist philosophy, "Kung Fu" is a morality play, a magic show, combining the Western genre with martial arts
