It depends on the actual style of karate. There are many variations between the styles, so there is no one 'universal' first form , or kata. Some styles share the same forms, at different ranks. For example, one style's first form may be another one's second, and with slight variations.
That depends greatly on the style of karate and what school you attend. There is a wide variety of kata and different schools start off with different kata. And there is also the language differences. I teach Kihon Kata Ichi first, basic kata number one. And I teach Naihanchi Shodon before any of the Pinan kata.
Forms is a word often used instead of kata. They are a sequence of moves that are practiced over and over. Each style has its own curriculum and kata that they study. Once the kata has been learned, then the application of the moves to combat can be learned.
Forms are a series of moves that are repeated often. These serve the purpose of making motions effortless, building strength and improving balance. In the Japanese and Okinawan styles they are called kata.
In Sanchi Ryu Karate, the Japanese name for the first kata in this style of Karate is kata-ichi (also called first series, first action). Hope this helps!
there are 3 mane types of karate:Shorin ryu, shotokan, goju ryu,.
