Okinawan Goju-ryu and Shduokan

[BKJ1216]

I was reading a book and I notice that goju-ryu has 14 kata. SOmeone told me that shudokan has over 200 kata. How is it that one has so little and the other so much? Can someone give me a brife description of the katas?

What; a brief description of 200 kata Or a brief description of 14

 

Well I would not like to describe either. What I will say is that being a practitioner of Goju-ryu I like the fact that there are so few kata. It is unlikely that I will ever fully understand and appreciate the depth of the few we have. To study 200 is just unthinkable.
