Here is a short montage Dana put together for our fallen friend and teacher Mike Martello who passed away at age 42, 9:30 this AM (June 2) in Belgium. Safe journey brother, and save me one of the good seats next to you. We love you. Jake & Dana
Before I had my school I taught in a shared space right after Sifu Martello. I only saw him a handful of times but I was very impressed with his vibe and from what little I saw his incredible skill. I always wished I had the chance to pick his brain on some of that amazing footwork I saw him do. so news of his passing was very saddening ot me. Thanks for posting this!

we lost a good friend. I realized mike was a rare person who touched the lives of people all over this world. His impact he had on people will never go unnoticed and he will never be forgotten. REST IN PEACE MIKE

This is a very nice tribute to Mike.
I feel very privileged to have been trained by Mike on two occassions in the UK; and at the same time very sorry that I won't have the chance again.
Words cannot say just how skilled he was as a practitioner and teacher. I found him to be a humble, polite, respectful, and thoroughly nice guy,
His passing is a loss to all but I'm sure his memory lives on in a great many of us.

I just found out about Master Martello and it saddens me.
My condolences to the family.
He was one of the few practitioners that truly understood the martial arts and will be greatly missed.
