Kasara School of Military Arts (KaSMA)
The Kasara School of Military Arts or KaSMA, is widely
considered the best in the Empire and has an overwhelming number
of applications each year. And yet, only one in a hundred are
skilled enough to meet the stringent minimum qualifications for
entrance and only a small percentage of those ever make it to
graduation.
All the instructors are experienced veterans, each specializing
in a different aspect of military theory, combat readiness, tactics
and theory, martial arts and weapons training.
The KaSMA also has the honour of welcoming several Da'Har
Masters (including the late Commander Kor) who have shared the
wisdom of their years of experience with our students through
a series of continuing hands-on seminars.
Many of the students, after a series of "field stages",
often go on to become instructors at other schools in the Empire.
It is strongly rumoured that this School also serves to train
the best assassins in the Klingon Empire.
Weaponry Exhibit
KaSMA also works in conjunction with the Klingon
Imperial Weapons Guild to provide it's students with access
to the best bladed weaponry within the Empire. Many of the Guild's
works are also featured in the KaSMA's famous Bladed Weapons
Gallery, which is considered by many to be the highlight
of any visit to Klinzhai. A titanium replica of the Sword of
Kahless, forged by Guildmaster K'Daq is one of it's most famous
displays.
Mok'bara Classes
The KaSMA also offers a series of Mok'bara courses that are
open to the general Klingon populace, as a public service to
the Empire.
For the uninitiated, Mok'bara is an ancient form of martial
art, that aids in the development of concentration, coordination,
flexibility, strength and speed. It is widely practiced throughout
the Empire by Klingons of all ages and genders. Most Klingons
begin their introduction to Mok'bara at a very early age and
continue receiving instruction in it throughout their lives.
Mok'bara participants traditionally wear a loose-fitting cream-white
uniform, with a coloured shoulder stripe that denotes their skill
level. After decades of instruction, practice, dedication and
skill, only the highest level of Mok'bara veterans are finally
recognized by the title of "Da'Har Master".
