I was just wondering, it dosen't seem too popular of a style. I have two schools in my area, the one I really want to go to is shudokan, but I don't know if shotokan is a better style.

HI YA!

Shudokan is a blend of Shotokan karate and Jujitsu. We used to have some shudokan students visit our school to spar and trade techniques. It is relatively new system-in fact my husband has sparred the gentleman that started it. They use shotokan kata and basics-then blend the jujitsu into their curriculum. I think it is a very good system and learned many very good street self-defense techniques from them. Shudokan attracted alot of law enforcement officers in our area (West Coast).
They are very good at sparring too!

Hope this helps!

Visit both schools and think about why you want to learn a martial art. If the idea of weapons and grappling skills mixed in together with your stand up fighting go to the shudokan school.

Both sound like they have some common roots. And there will be many similarities in the basics. It will be the weapons and grappling in shudokan that are the big differences.
