After being refused by Dronacharya, Karna sought his brother Shona's help. But according to Indian culture, to learn an art you must have a guru (teacher), so Karna appointed the sun god as his guru, learned to wield his weapons during the day by gathering information about the various ayudhas (weapons) and practiced with them after sundown.
But, Karna wanted to learn all the advanced skills of Archery including the use of divine weapons. After being refused by Dronacharya, Karna decided to learn from Parashurama, Dronacharya's own guru, who was known to teach only Brahmins. He appeared before Parashurama as a Brahmin and requested that he be taken on as his student. Parashurama accepted him and trained him to such a point that he declared Karna to be equal to himself in the art of warfare and archery.

∙ 10y agoYes. He was probably the greatest warrior who fought in the Mahabharata War. He was considered to be more talented than Arjuna was considered the best. However, because he was on the wrong side of the war and since good always defeats evil, he lost. Lord Krishna, who was with the Pandavas was instrumental in defeating Karna.

Karna had taken admission to learn weaponry with Guru Parashurama. Karna had not disclosed that he was a warrior. Parashurama once understands that Karna was a warrior and becomes angry and curses Karna that he would forget the mantras he taught and his chariot gets stuck in battle ground, when he needed them most during a battle. Hence Karna's chariot gets stuck during the battle when needed it desperately.
