Here is a list which shows the earliest
point at which you can learn each skill as you play through the game:
Disc #1
* If Yuffie hasn't joined you yet, then you can get these skills without worry. But if she has joined your party, then she'll steal almost all of your Materia, preventing you from learning these two skills until after you've completed her sub-quest and gotten your Teki no Waza materia back (along with the rest of your materia).
Disc #2
Once you get the Highwind...
Disc #3
