Taku didn't even need to think. "Strength, speed, and chakra levels....I could barely keep up, I couldn't overpower, and I wore down too quickly" he said, even explaining why he needed each area.

((taking over as Benjiro while Serenity is offline...he said it was cool))
Benjiro nodded to Taku. "We'll begin with strength. Let's work on your arms first....come with me" he instructed as he led Taku over to a little training area. "I know this may be a bit cliche...but we'll start with this" he said as he pointed to a pile of bricks. "But there IS catch" he said as he set Taku up to a chain system that stopped his fist only a millimeter away from the bricks. "The point of this...to be able to break the bricks with hardly any contact at all....no Chakra...now wind....just raw strength" he explained.
Taku Nodded as he was set up on the chain. He could barely feel the cold brick against his knuckles, and he knew this would be a bit of a challenge. "I see....so when I can break the bricks like this, full contact would be a lot stronger...." he said reasonable before taking a swing at the bricks, barely tapping the bricks. "This should help..." he said as he punched again and again, barely touching the bricks.

Taku took swing after swing, hitting the brick a bit harder every time, to the point where he could break one brick.
Benjiro replaced the brick now so that Taku could keep practicing.
((I figure two strength per brick....))

Taku took another swing with all his strength, breaking the first three bricks in the series. He took a look at his knuckles and noticed small cuts, but they didn't really hurt. "A line of ten is my goal....let's do this" he said as he let out another thrust at a new series of bricks, breaking only three once again.

Taku's knuckles were beginning to sting a bit, but he pushed the pain aside. "I'm up to five...I'm half way there" he said to himself as he threw another punch, breaking a string of six this time. He dropped his arms for a moment to take a breath. "Come on!!!" he yelled, putting anger into the next strike in order to break nine out of ten bricks. He held his hand as it now began to bleed substantially.
Benjiro didn't even wait before stepping forward and placed a hand on Taku's wound, healing it as a blue aura encircled their hands. "There...now go again..." he said as he stepped back.

Arina had been in Taku's hut for quite sometime beating herself up mentally for failing. She had bandaged hands to prove how angry she was at herself. She now sat in a tree watching Taku quietly, not making a sound so she didnt disturb his training.

Taku clenched his newly healed hands into fists again and took another strike. This time, it was much easier to break eight bricks as he traded hits with the stack. "So close!" he said as he put out another punch, reaching nine.

Taku chuckled as he threw another punch. "you two aren't very discreet ya know!" he called back without looking, slamming his fists into the brick, finally hitting his first ten.
Benjiro smiled when Taku hit brick ten. "Good job...keep going" he said to Taku.

Taku nodded before taking another strike, only breaking nine. He was a bit ticked that his number dropped, but he had to make the full ten every time. He struck again...Nine...another nine...then finally a ten." COme on! I gotta keep this up!" he told himself as he broke another ten...then a nine...then two more tens.
