Who is Michael P. Garofalo?

[freiman the minstrel]

Guys,

I have been wanting to learn an eastern sword form for a while, and every so often I do an internet search looking for one on video or something. I don't want to be an EMA stylist, I just think that at some point I should learn a form or Kata.

Anyway this particular iteration brought me to a website by a tai chi stylist named Michael P. Garofalo, who seems to do this sort of search a whole lot more obsessively than I do.

Here's a link

This guy seems to have put a lot of hours into compiling a list of different sword resources.

Who is this guy? Anybody know?
