Jim Bouchard<\/h2>\n

Speaker and author Jim Bouchard<\/a> shares his philosophy of \u201cBlack Belt Mindset\u201d
\nthrough media appearances, books and speaking engagements. Discovering
\nkarate at age 25 helped Bouchard overcome personal challenges that included a
\ncycle of self-destructive behavior, drugs and alcohol.<\/p>\n

His book, \u201cThink Like a Black Belt<\/a>\u201d lays the foundation for success by examining
\nthe values and characteristics essential to the process of personal growth
\nincluding discipline, focus, confidence and courage. Spencer Hughes, host of
\nFOX across America called it \u201cA much needed roundhouse kick to laziness and
\ncomplacency for those of us who need that spark to make our dreams come
\ntrue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martial arts became both the binding force and the transformational energy in his
\nlife. Bouchard became a full-time instructor and entrepreneur, opening his own
\ncenter soon after earning his first black belt in 1991. Jim later founded Northern
\nChi Martial Arts Center, became a Master Instructor with Cane Masters,
\nInternational, created the Beifang Qi Taiji Cane system, was twice featured in
\nInside Kung Fu magazine, and was inducted into the US Martial Arts Hall of
\nFame as Master Instructor of the Year.<\/p>\n

For Bouchard, martial arts became a way to use discipline, focus and self motivation
\nto shape personal success and happiness. \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of\u00a0developing a life of practice and committing yourself to continual self improvement.\u00a0Just like earning a black belt; simple, not always easy,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Skip Robinson<\/h2>\n

Maine bodybuilding icon Skip Robinson began a career in bodybuilding in the early days of the sport. \u00a0Robinson’s “don’t quit” attitude propelled him from a skinny teen lifting tomato cans filled with cement to an elite bodybuilder, winning\u00a0numerous prestigious awards, and he has shared that training\u00a0knowledge with athletes, students coaches and political bodies.<\/p>\n

A Maine native, Robinson\u2019s bodybuilding career includes twice being named Mr. World and winning Mr. America in his class.<\/p>\n

Robinson is a nationally certified fitness consultant who served as the strength\u00a0coach for the Maine Mariners and Philadelphia Flyers from 1978-1980. \u00a0Robinson is a consultant for Portland Public Schools nutrition program, and has\u00a0been a fitness consultant for Portland high schools and colleges. \u00a0He taught weight training and health for 11 years at the University of Southern\u00a0Maine, and taught science and social studies for 34 years in Portland public\u00a0schools.<\/p>\n

Robinson is also a 3-time member of the Governor\u2019s Council on Physical Fitness and
\nSport.<\/p>\n

He currently owns Smart Body Fitness Consultants, offering personal training to
\nhelp clients tone up and improve their fitness.<\/p>\n

Delores Robinson<\/h2>\n

Skip Robinson was then joined by wife Delores Robinson to discuss healthy lifestyles. \u00a0Delores Robinson is a Nationally Certified Fitness Consultant, Certified Sports Nutritionist and Certified TLS Weight Management Coach.<\/p>\n
