Karate Kick

Im thinking of taking up Self Defence i wanted to do Karate but my friend says Kick Boxing Which one?
I thought Karate would be easier for beginners dont know which one to choose!
I’d think for Self Defense , kickboxing would be better. In karate, you spend alot of time doing kata (unless you’re in a dojo that focuses more on sparring).
Also alot of Karate Sparring is light to medium contact (unless you’re in a style that focuses on hard-contact, like Kyokushin Karate) . That’s not bad for beginners, but you eventually need to learn how to take a punch so you can keep on fighting when attacked for real .
Some of the blocks in karate also aren’t that great to use against much bigger opponents. I nearly got my arm broken trying to use a low block to stop a kick in a tournament (the guy was about twice the size of me in height and width), and that was after YEARS of training in karate and TKD . (I’d never fought full-contact before that)
And if you decide to go into kickboxing…..make sure that it’s REAL kickboxing and not carido kickboxing .
