And, um, every time I went to the gym, it was kind of traumatizing. And so every time I'd flip, I just like flashbacks to Tokyo. Oh, I'm going to get lost. I'm going to get lost.

He would make me twist and go back to the basics. And I wasn't even training. I literally would just come visit. And he didn't want me to have that feeling because...
