Changes: Mok'bara

Revision as of 16:30, 24 November 2015

The mok'bara was a Klingon form of martial arts. The technique was similar to meditation, as both forms were said to clear the mind. The mok'bara was the basis of Klingon hand-to-hand combat techniques, and could be practiced alone or in groups. (TNG: "Clues", "Birthright, Part II")

The mok'bara involved weapons such as the bat'leth, mek'leth, d'k tahg, and lahj. Some of the techniques and forms involved in the mok'bara were similar to the Human martial art of tai chi chuan. (TNG: "Second Chances")

Lieutenant Worf taught a mok'bara class on board the USS Enterprise-D. Deanna Troi, Doctor Crusher, Commander William T. Riker, and Geordi La Forge were some of the many students. Other students included Ensign Gates, Martinez, a female officer, and also the ensigns Sam Lavelle and Sito Jaxa. (TNG: "Lower Decks")
