Christian Maine

Christian Maine is the owner and head instructor of White Mountain Karate (WMK), which he founded on March 7, 2010.

He began training in Uechi-Ryu karate in 1990 and currently holds the rank of Rokudan (6th-degree black belt). He also holds the title of Renshi (Master Instructor), recognizing his experience, leadership, and commitment to the art.

Christian is a senior member of the Uechi-Ryu International Karate Association and remains dedicated to preserving the traditions and standards of his system while continuing to grow as both a martial artist and instructor.

As a father of two grown daughters who were raised in the dojo, Christian places a strong emphasis on disciplined character development, personal growth, and lifelong learning. His teaching reflects not only technical training, but also the development of confidence, respect, and resilience in his students.

From early in his own training, Christian knew he would one day open a dojo and help others reach their goals through the study of karate. That vision continues today at White Mountain Karate, where he is committed to helping students of all ages build strong foundations both on and off the mat.

Outside the dojo, he enjoys spending time outdoors and staying active whenever possible.
