It is but you have to be very selective of the place you learn it from. I learned the hard way that not all training centers are equal or very good for that matter. The first place I went to had a scattered, unfocused training program, a teacher that was always late, and the skills (when practiced in real life) were a joke.
You also have to consider your self defense needs. For example, kick boxing may be good for a blunt K.O. punch and run but it won’t help you in a situation where an attacker has you pinned on the ground or a weapon on you, this is where some of the more intense programs come in. You should also know that Tournament Styled Martial Arts are less likely to work in real world situations since those are more focused on a points systems rather than effectiveness.
You should also know that jumping both feet into training with little to no physical fitness background will be extremely difficult during your first few days and may make you want to stop. So if you’re seriously considering Martial Arts I strongly recommend you build up in that area just a bit so the transition will be much smoother.

A year in self-defense classes, I also recommend reading any MA book by Loren Christensen. A very blunt man with a long history in fighting.

Martial arts is excellent for exercise and self defense, but it is also extremely valuable with confidence, self control, and improving your lifestyle in general.
I’ve tried multiple styles of martial arts, but the main thing is finding the right one for you. Search around your area and ask to take a class before committing yourself to a certain style.

It can be poor or great for both, depending on how it’s trained. In some classes you don’t break a sweat, so that wouldn’t be great for exercise, and in others you just kick and punch the air forever, and that wouldn’t be good self-defense. But there are also classes that are a great combination of both. Try out a class or two where you live and judge for yourself what kind of class it is.

I think that every person that practices martial art does it a.o. for these reasons

I do it for exactly these reasons. Though I take two – one for self-defense and the other for exercise. There are other reasons of course – I find the self defense class to be very intellectually stimulating – but being able to burn off extra energy after work makes me a much happier person.
