Wado teaches more strikes and the basic strikes will probably be learned more quickly.

 

Judo on the other hand, teaches throws and grappling which may take you a bit longer to get the 'feel' for.

 

In saying that, the best way for you to decide is to try both arts and many will agree that if you train in both they will compliment each other nicely.

From my experience, it all depends on your instructors. As a white belt, we were taught many effective (situational) self defense techniques along with the standard curriculum. A good instructor will teach the beginning ranks practical self defense....no matter which art.

Go with the school who see there Art more as self defense than sport.

 

I think both are important for overall self defense. I'd take Karate first (you can learn the strikes quicker) and then when you are ready, take Judo.

 

Many Senseis take both styles to be well rounded.
