The theme song to that show just popped into my head - does anyone remember that show? Can you get DVDs of it anywhere?

That show is the reason I got into martial arts.

I loved the red gi, I wanted to get one at karate, but everyone else had white.

I thought it was soooo cool when ernie rode that skateboard under that semi. Wow.

We're not getting older bud, only better. When we were watching sidekicks could we train the way that we do now?

I've mentioned Ernie on a few threads and got no response. I thought I was alone. He is the reason I started shotokan in 4th grade. I saw his spinning crescent kick and I knew that I had to take karate.

I don't recall seeing those threads. I was an ernie fan back in the last dragon and red sonja days.

Have not seen it but just donīt confuse it with that Norris movie,that made me so ashamed I could not watch it to the end.

The first school I trained in was one of Chuck Norris' schools, so i have a tendency to always watch his movies, like them or not.

My old teacher is still there - I started there about 18 years ago (I was 6 when I started)

It was on that show that I heard the lamest martial arts joke ever told. Guest star El Debarge told Ernie Reyes Jr. that he had his "dojo working". By the way, Seven Star, how in the world do you remember the theme song?

I have no idea - I guess from seeing it so much. after the show was left abc on friday nights, it moved to the disney channel. I got to see it every wednesday night - it's odd what memories can just pop into your head like that :D
