形 is more common in many schools, but 型 is also used mostly in Okinawan karate.Which is the correct kanji for 'pattern'? 型? 形?
It's simply 形 (or 型).I know that in karate they have 'required kata' or required forms a beginning karate practitioner must practice. I think they are called 'required kata' or 'compulsory kata'. How to say 'required karate kata' in this way?

I recommend you try to replicate the correct stroke order and pay attention to lines that cross or don't. e.g. https://jisho.org/search/#kanji 定(...) I want to get these right. (...)
ありがとう! I have been using jisho for stroke order, I think I need to pay attention to where the lines cross and where they don't like you said and take more time. Maybe I should write them big and then scale them down on a computer to fit. I would like it to look well done, as I'll be using a henna type application for the character and it will stay on my actor for a bit so we can do various shots without reapplication.I recommend you try to replicate the correct stroke order and pay attention to lines that cross or don't. e.g. https://jisho.org/search/#kanji
This actually will be much betterAlso there are few nice calligraphic fonts out there that you can use. E.g. Iwata Gyousho
