The Benefits of
Martial Arts in New Ulm
At New Ulm ATA Martial Arts, we believe martial arts training empowers both children and adults to build the mental and physical skills they need to thrive. While many see martial arts solely as self-defense, we focus on developing self-confidence, improved focus, physical strength, and positive social interaction. Our students learn to set goals, work hard, follow through—and have fun while making lasting friendships.
Our school owner and head instructor, Mr. Schwab, lives by the principles he teaches. He began his Taekwondo journey later in life, training side-by-side with his son. Together, they advanced through the ranks with commitment and discipline. Today, Mr. Schwab offers that same opportunity to others: if you bring determination, dedication, and patience, you can walk the same rewarding path.
In August 2024, The New Ulm Journal published an article chronicling Mr. Schwab’s inspiring journey to becoming a World Champion—a milestone reached through perseverance and passion. You can read the full story HERE. But his story doesn’t end there. As he teaches all his students: once you reach a goal, it’s time to set a new one.
