I learn discipline, self control and patience. My dojo starts with some basics, the history of the martial art and some rules/philosophy stuff. Then we break down the classes into a couple categories. Kata (a pre-determined order of moves that teach you how to perform under different conditions), Self defense, Techniques and conditioning, Weapons, Sparring. All of the classes have more knowledge on terms, philosophies and other things thrown in.

Depends on the style. They are not all the same and the different styles take a different approach to learning. Some styles teach striking first and joint manipulations later, others teach joint manipulations first and striking later. Some teach relaxation first and how to power techniques through relaxation. Some teach rooting and how to draw up power into the techniques through rooting. There are countless different ways. How many ways can you get up a mountain?

I haven't learn more about martial arts, only some, side kicks,back kicks,round kicks.

All my martial instructors hate tai chi and I have to hate their blood if they pic the wife cause they said I have no control . So who was it the said I was Lucifer Creed.
