William Bernales, the Filipino-American founder of BIMA, has been training in various martial arts for more than 40 years. Master Will has been teaching in the Salt Lake Valley since 1996. He is certified in Kali, Silat, and Jeet Kune Do under Sifu Dan Inosanto, and in Thai Boxing under Grandmaster Chai Sirisute.

Refunds are available up until 8 days before the event. Pets are not allowed in the indoor portion of the event. 

DETAILS:
The event is indoors with an outdoor amphitheater. We will have local food businesses and menu prices range from $5 - $17. We will also have a curated anime marketplace with local artists. Boba, desserts, and other Asian dishes will be available too. We highly encourage carpooling or rideshare. 

All food and drink is sold separately. All of the local businesses will be collecting their own sales. They do not offset the event production costs. Most vendors will accept both cash and card. We do recommend bringing cash for this event and coming with a group of your friends and families to try a little bit from everywhere! Event times will be staggered to improve flow of the event. You can stay as long as you like and ticket times are only for how early you can arrive.

Refunds are unavailable if you miss your admission time. If you need to switch tickets for a different admission time, you can email us at nomnomevents48@gmail.com and we will accommodate if tickets are not sold out online. If you come as a group, you can try from more vendors and create your own picnic.
