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.

There are many moves in Taekwondo. Some can include hand to hand combat or maybe weapons from a range. I would say well over fifty in many different genre's.

There are over 50 distinct hand techniques alone; there are over a dozen hand blocks, plus about a half-dozen foot blocks. And there are over two dozen kick variations.

Then there are over a dozen stances, countless throws, grabs, and jointlocks (arguably borrowed from hapkido and other arts).

For ITF, there are 24 forms (hyung); for WTF, there are 25 (8 taeguek, which replaced 8 palgawes, and 9 black belt forms).

What are karate forms and what do they do for defense or attack?

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.
