What attracts you to the martial arts?

Is it the need to defend yourself?
Is it curiosity?
Is it the need to learn something complex?
Is it because its fun?
Is it because you like the feeling it gives you?
Is it because it keeps you in shape?
Is it because you like to know your limits?

Martial arts represent different things for different people; I understand not everyone is like me. I have been practicing Kung Fu for 10 years and say with pride it is my passion. I feel now my role is to help people with their training; be it because they find it fun, want to get into shape or because they are a serious martial artist looking to diversify their skills.
