Training in Japan was hell.
Mornings started with 5km runs uphill in snow.
Afternoons were sparring drills with rotating fighters every 2 minutes.
Nights were meditation, ice baths, and full silence—no phones, no screens, just self-awareness.
Aarav felt like a beginner again.
Kenji broke his bad habits. His wide swings, unguarded knees, and heavy breathing.
"You fight like fire," he said. "But fire alone burns out. You need ice too."
Aarav learned how to breathe under pressure. How to flow. How to see without blinking.
