I was very impressed by Martellos taste and enthusiasm and was hoping to do push hands with him one day. There have been 2 major losses in the CMA community recently that really get to me, Mike Martello is one of them, the other one is Paul Champagne, arguably one of the greatest sword smiths of recent times.
