Martial Arts: Fun and fitness

How do you promote your martial art? Self-defense; combat; tradition; competition; health; personal growth and building of character? Some, all or none of these?

Let us not forget the aspect of fitness! Oh and can we throw (pun intended) in how fun it can be, then I think we'll hit a home run :-)

Here's a beginners view on the work-out side of martial arts.

"I was a Green Beret. I ran three marathons, including the Pikes Peak (up and down the mountain). I still work out four to five times a week, at what I had thought was a fairly high degree of intensity. But I've never been more whipped after a workout than I was after these two martial arts classes."
