How about kali's own documentation?
Just put the terms "kali documentation" into the search engine of your choice!

Hi Youngsherlock, welcome here, at LQ

kali is for experienced users. kali is not meant to learn anything. So if you wish to learn use a more user friendly distro, like ubuntu, mint (or whatever you prefer). All the tools (installed on kali) are available on these distros as well.

OP: pen testing is a huge field - what area are you interested in? Network, OS, web apps, etc. The tools for each area are very specific.

I use kali at work but not at home because it is a huge pain - way too many tools for what I do and because it's rolling, the constant updates force me to have to update the VB guest additions repeatedly. I actually use a "normal" distro and just install what I need.

As others have suggested, just use Kali's own docs or Google the specific tools/techniques you are interested in for examples. It takes time to learn this, be patient. I have been doing this over 15 years and am still learning things.
