Differences in kata between shotokan and kyokushin kai?

Just as it is the clear mirror that reflects without distortion, or the quiet valley that echoes a sound, so must one who would study Karate-do purge himself of selfish and evil thoughts, for only with a clear mind and conscience can he understand that which he receives

yes

 

although the same root kata

They are most different in kumite, a little in stance and yes, the kata are different. Both have merits.

Since Mas Oyama trained in shotokan and Goju Ryu there are Katas from Both karate styles.

 

this is true. howeer he modified all of them

 

and they do not look quite the same as the

 

origanals. Seipai for example is barely recognizable,

 

while others are more similar. He also made up a

 

couple of his own such as Garyu "Reclining dragon"
