EDUCATOR COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Cameron Kirkpatrick, Martial Arts Instructor

This Community Spotlight is on Cameron Kirkpatrick, owner and lead karate instructor at Westampton Martial Arts.

Coach Kirkpatrick teaches ages 3 through adult and is known for his motivational phrases that he turns into life lessons, according to Lauren Buchanan, who nominated the karate instructor.

Through his martial arts lessons, he teaches his students to be responsible citizens in their communities, Buchanan said. Kirkpatrick recently developed a new leadership class for his students and is always developing his own skills with classes and seminars.

“Coach Cameron has impacted so many students, and always greets them by name from day one, and makes them feel welcome and part of the family,” Buchanan said.
