Maya would instruct me during our most intense training sessions. At first, my focus was on my breathing techniques when fighting. I would not only count my opponents attacks, but I would focus on keeping my breaths steady.
In the beginning, it was a distraction.

It kept me strong. It helped me last longer.
/"Right./" Carl held his hands up steady as he instructed me.
At his request, I hit him with a right punch.
/"Right./" Again, I threw a punch. /"Right foot./"
I kicked; my foot making contact with the boxing mit.
/"Again. Higher./" He urged.
Again, I kicked; this strike stronger and higher than the last.
