I would like to know of a martial that that you can defend yourself by out-fighting the oppenant. I am 14 years old and am very tough and hard so maybe that can help you find a martial art for me. I have experiance in fighting as well.

There are already many threads with people asking about what art they should join. Look around locally for what interests you, if the school is any good they'll allow you to watch or maybe even join in for a lesson or two. Take time to make your decision. What matters mostly in a patient, understanding instructor who knows what he is talking about.
And that attitude... you may find yourself to not be so tough and hard when you start training. 
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.

"I am 14 years old and am very tough and hard "
You are to C*O*C*K*Y for any martial art to do well in my opinion you should try boxing though. Or Muay Thai.

| If you think you're all tough and stuff you should try muay thai. I think it's full contact, and the kicks are really hard, plus it's good for self defense, so try it out.. |

Just ignore him he's tryin to promote Muay Thai..
He does that every time someone talks about martial arts... nyuk! I have personally never heard of Muay Thai until I came to this forum. It must be in big cities only.. then again im in TKD the most widly practiced martial art in the world.
