Karate is overrated, you should go for krav maga. The training is focused on real-life situations as opposed to stupid karate show-offs, which is why it's so effective. It's quick & brutal self-defense.
I remember someone poking fun at me, saying if I got into a fight with Brock Lesnar I'd be dead within 10 seconds. And I'm like "maybe so, but 10 seconds is plenty of time to do permanent damage to him". I'd blind him for life in the process.
I'm not interested in a battle of attrition. I'd rather neutralize the threat immediately. Hit fast and VERY hard. If I have to break bones or paralyze the attacker, so be it. I'll do anything I have to to protect myself from harm. Self defense.

karate isn't the best of martial arts, but if that's what you want to do then go for it.
But only see it as an artistic sport, if you want to defend yourself for real , then don't do karate.
krav maga is overrated and best left to scorpios and teenagers.
Boxing or thai boxing are good choices.
