There are well over 2,000 types of disciplines in the martial arts... and I know that some of those are simply "belt selling machines" where the Sensei makes a living at charging so much for every belt that they hand-out... with the result that some of their black belts could not fight their way out of a paper bag....
I received my black belt after training at least three hours a day for the last three years... I wanted that black belt to mean something to me... not just a piece of cloth to hold up my karate gie...
If you can learn to fight by yourself... I wish you the very best...
