Okay, Kyle is good - like, hella good at what he does - but he has like two feet of height and 250 pounds on you and fights like he'll be able to heal from what happens.
You also need to be working with someone who is small, because we can't fight the way he does and no matter how well he trains you, some of that bias is going to come through. (No offence.)
Talk to me, to Doug, to Natasha, to Felica or someone. People with powers that don't lead to fighting and no physical advantages.
I mean kinda. Gar put me through a bunch of shit where if I got hurt he'd make me do shitty boring cardio I hated so Kiiiiiiinda but also yeah, you're not wrong there's only so much negative reinforcement you can do.
but Maya still needs to learn how to fight guys like me.
(I mean I assume you can fight a guy like me but you're like. I just assume you'd shoot me in the face)

But also, you fight like a man who fundamentally believes that fingers regrow.

Good point, though. He did make you do all of that, I just know what powers based biases are like. You can;t outtrain them.
