The other day at my sparring class there was a fairly new student, and we were getting ready to go over punch/ block drills. For some reason (my experience with it?) as soon as the "new guy" countered my hit, I instantly blocked him back. What I was supposed to do was be the aggressor, and HE was supposed to defend himself so he can get the motion of it. Not that what I did was bad, persay, but it still wasn't what was expected (it was all no contact, except blocks). It was like at that moment, a little red light came on in my head. I didn't even think of it until it was too late.
So my question is, how do you kind of "ignore" that instant response? The instructor wound up switching places with me after the second try.
