I am looking for a martial art that is purely for self defense and fighting not for sport, I did taekwondo for a while and discovered it is really only for sport not for a real life situation, I am looking for an no nonsense effective art that doesn’t take 50 years to learn.

I’m fifteen years old and have decided that I wanted to do some form of martial arts. The schools in my area have karate and taekwondo, and I’m not sure which one would be better for me. What I want from the class is to get a good workout and also be able to fight in a real situation. Which one would be better? And how should I go about finding a school that’s not a load of crap?

what other arts defend you in this kind of situation?
Am I too old “42″ I use to do it years ago Tae kwon do kung fu kick boxing. The problem is I’ve been training at a club with my son sparring and I have found the students are soft. Which I believe you practice like you play in real time situation. Well I was sparring with a 3rd degree black belt and put him on the ground twice 1n 5 minutes and he left the floor and wined to the teacher. Which I’ve trained in the past alot but I’m 42 in decent shape have’nt trained in martial arts in 15 years he was half my age “what is the deal”. But that is not the only incident it I hit real hard and i don’t get hurt easily and it seems like the students are afraid of me and I’ve tried to spar with the instructors but they keep telling me they can’t. What are these students going to do in the street in a real life situation “did I mention I’m 5’10 230llbs so I’m really not that intimidating” How do I find a place that is serious about real life situations and will let me spar where people can takeit
