David Carradine was I believe a California native, although for a reliable bio you may want to check his IMDB page. In the early 1970's he received some personalized Kung Fu instruction from none other than Bruce Lee; although Lee was deep sixed for the role of Kwan Chang Kain, the producer nevertheless involved him in the production of the pilot episode. In fact the fight choreography was done by Lee, that is why the "climactic" fight scene between Kain and the Shaolin monk sent to hunt him down ressembles a street brawl, Lee wanted to show audiences "what really happens" in a fight.
Carradine received instruction primarily from Kung Fu experts from California; both Los Angeles and San Francisco have a very large east Asian population in fact the entire west coast of the U.S. does. Seattle for example, has the largest percentage of Japanese Americans in the country, its very easy to find Karate and Judo schools there, quality ones too. Of course, because of the large corporate world white people population, gentrification has made it so that only Asian Americans and corporate whites can afford to live there meaning, yeah, the instruction is quality, but its also ridiculously expensive.
Where did Carradine study Martial Arts? Where else; his native Los Angeles. Far as I know, Carradine was a Californian, through and through, he had spent his whole life there I think, that is why even as an "old man" he gives that whole "laid back" impression.
