Martial arts has a way of connecting you with some truly incredible people.

Back in early June, we had the pleasure of welcoming Justin Stabler, a lifelong martial artist and guitar tech for Trey Anastasio of Phish, to BIMA. Not only did Justin stop by to train, but he also made it possible for our office manager and her husband, a lifelong and dedicated Phish fan, to attend Trey's concert the next day.

As if that wasn't cool enough, Justin wore his BIMA shirt on stage, and it's continued making appearances throughout the tour, including its latest stop in Columbia, Maryland.

A huge thank you to Justin for the unforgettable experience and for helping to spread the BIMA name as the tour continues. We truly appreciate your support!
