Certain styles of karate and kung fu, (Examples of traditional Martial Arts) might not be as effective or as good in a fight as practical martial arts, but they still develop strength, speed, power, co-ordination, balance and inner peace. If you are looking for traditional martial arts i would recommend Shotokan karate, Wing Chun or Aikido. The most practical (street fighting) system of Kung Fu is Wing Chun. It concentrates on short effective movements and develops extreme speed and power. So some traditional martial arts do work in a real fight!

Are karate courses good and defensive?

It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a good work out, then yes they are a great form of excersize, The best defense is standing up for yourself when needed, I don't believe you need to fight to defend yourself. But, if that is the only thing that will work, then yes, Karate would be a good option.
