It will depend on the school or style of karate. The basic two are the front stance and the back stance. There is the horse stance and the long front stance. Those four are found in pretty much every style. Others are Naihanchi stance and crooked cat stance. The instructors will help you with learning them in the proper order.

Forms, or kata, are used as a training tool. They are primarily to teach techniques, which can be practiced alone. Repetition builds up strength and creates muscle memory. Once the techniques become automatic with little thought needed to do them, you start to learn the application of the kata to a combat situation. Basic techniques include blocks, punches, kicks, stances and transitions between stances. Advanced techniques include combinations of basic techniques that will break opponent's limbs, injury or kill.
