Block the Tendency to Block

Today, while doing keiko w/ Mr. Yang, he got my Kote many times.

When he came to attack Men, I had this tendency to raise my arms up to block it.

So, Mr. Yang came to attack as if he was hitting my Men but slightly turning to the side thus hitting the exact spot where my Kote would be (after raising my arms up to block).

Once he got my Kote like that, I was reluctant to raise my arms to block his attack.

Then, he attacked my Men (thus hitting the valid points).

Good strategy and good Waza for him.

As for me, I should stop that tendency to block.
(But attack or do something...)
