A FAMILY THAT KICKS TOGETHER , STICKS TOGETHER
Cameron Stadtfeld is the owner and Master Instructor at ATA McMurray Martial Arts Academy . Within the first few minutes of speaking to Cameron , you can sense the sincerity in his personality . When you get to know his background and history , you can quickly see that his success is a direct result of his past . This success transfers to the academy and the fact that he treats every person as if they were part of his family . In Cameron ’ s words , “ My passion is to change and improve as many lives as possible .”
Cameron ’ s story began in 1996 when he was 6 years old . He started lessons at the ATA Academy in Monroeville , where his older brother had started before him . After a while , his younger sister joined , followed by his mom , dad , little brother , and eventually his wife and nephew . This quickly became a family affair .
Cameron and his family ended up moving to McMurray and helped run the McMurray academy . Fast-forward to 2019 and Cameron was owning and operating the same McMurray business that his family helped nurture from the beginning .
But then came the COVID-19 pandemic . Cameron and his team followed all guidelines during the COVID outbreak and went above and beyond for their students . They taught individual private lessons online for every student and provided free pads to help train at home . Cameron helped students who struggled financially during the initial COVID outbreak , and his student enrollment went from 114 to 220 as a direct result . These efforts helped the academy win the 2020 Observer Reporter ’ s award for Best of the Best – Karate School . The success stories at ATA McMurray are endless . This year there are three World Champions from ATA McMurray . Ten-year-old Gianna Combs competed and won the bronze medal for Combat Weapons . She ’ s 10 years old and ranks third in the world ! Gabriel Yost , 15 , won World Champion in the Traditional Weapons category , and
Cameron Stadtfeld won World Champion in XMA forms . These three champions competed against others from around the globe .
