Any specific type of martial art you wish to learn? Thai boxing is very different to aikido for instance. Also why is it you wish to learn ie competitions, fitness, friendship, to protect yourself? Teaching methods also vary. Not trying to sound like a smart ar*e however if you can try and be more specific you may get more feedback from readers.

As GK pointed out, there are many reasons and many styles... more information would be helpful, but in the interim I'm happy to recommend one.
Sifu Wan Kei Ho

Sifu Wan teaches traditional Chinese martial arts (Northern Shaolin & Choy Li Fut), in addition to Tai Chi. This is not a 'sport' or 'fight' oriented, but rather strikes a balance between practical application, tradition and culture. Choy Li Fut, in particular, is a style with a lot of history in Hong Kong and you will get a lot of local/cultural exposure here. I've had the pleasure of attending large martial arts dinners, local tournaments and many other events that I otherwise would never have seen (or known about!) as a foreigner. His English is quite good, and he has many, many students who are not local (perhaps 50%). He is always happy to have someone in for a demo class (Monday & Thursday, 7:00pm), as well as private training sessions. Grounp glasses are usually quite small (4-6 persons) and private classes are, well, private. His studio is in Sheung Wan. Students vary in age, which is to say that it is a comfortable environment for a variety of abilities, ages and fitness levels.
However, if you are going for a strictly fitness angle, you would do well to check out any of the Muay Thai / Boxing studios in SoHo / Central. Great for whipping you into shape, but not really my thing.
Hope that helps. Cheers,
JP
