I was wondering between judo and karate which would be a better beginning martial art?

I have not done martial arts before. i am 13 and medium build. I want good self defense as well as discipline. Does karate teach any judo like throws and take downs?

Karate does have throws and take-downs, joint locks, …etc. The problem is that only a few instructors have been fully trained in those techniques within their style. Both Judo and karate are great arts and either could be what you are looking for. It all comes down to the instructor and what he has been taught. You can only do what you have been taught. You can lso only be taught what your instructor knows and is willing to teach.

I suggest you search for a good instructor, rather than a style. find a really good instructor and you will be ahead of most people before you even start. Also avoid belt mills. And school that talks about being a black belt, or any belt for that matter is a belt-mill / McDojo / Shake-And-Bake School. You want a school that teaches skills. Belts will follow. They should never be the goal.
