In summary: Taking a self-defence class taught by a qualified instructor, as was mentioned, would probably be worthwhile if you do not want to commit to several years of training. This would give you some level of skill and protection in the event of an altercation. If you are looking for a shorter route to self-defence, then you might consider taking a self-defence class taught by a qualified instructor. However, for more comprehensive training, martial arts may be the best option for you. It can take many years of dedication and hard work to be good at martial arts, but it is definitely a practical way to defend yourself. It is also great for exercise and can provide a sense of camaraderie. If you are interested

Okay. Time to chime in.

Most modern Tae Kwon Do or a modified style of traditional Tae Kwon Do also teach ground grappling, stick fighting, and self defense techniques.
...a Songahm Taekwondo practitioner begins applying the basics they have learned from 1-steps into true sparring, which can be thought of as reflexive responses against an unplanned attack. Essentially, they learn to move beyond the predetermined series of movements they have relied upon in favor of spontaneous movements designed for true self defense.

I'm seeing that it is becoming common practice for studios to cross-train in different systems. Makes for a well rounded martial artist. One can enjoy the "art" of a traditional system and incorporate practical real-world fighting technique.
