Parade Magazine has a story today by Arthur Rosenfeld on martial arts and fitness, focusing on Tai Chi. The web links for it are here (I can't find the story itself online):
http://www.parade.com/weblinks/index.html#top

For a workout and self-defense for the young, he recommends: "American kenpo, Japanese karate, Thai kickboxing, Brazilian capoeria or Chinese kung fu." For those older, aikido or tai chi.
