Worf teaching Mokbara
The Mok'bara is a Klingon form of martial arts. The technique is similar to meditation as the forms are said to clear the mind. The mok'bara is the basis of Klingon hand-to-hand combat techniques, and may be practiced alone, or in groups. (TNG: "Birthright, Part II")
The mok'bara involves weapons such as the bat'leth, mek'leth, d'k tahg, and lahj.
A Dahar master is a Klingon warrior who has reached the highest level of achievement in the practices of Mok'bara.
Lt. Worf taught a mok'bara class on board the Enterprise. Deanna Troi,Doctor Crusher and Geordi La Forge were some of the many students.
