Yea, those avoidance tricks are difficult to change. Like at one point when I would stutter, my right arm would move upwards. But then I just thought, “you know what, the next time I block I’m not moving my arm!” I made the conscious effort not to use that trick and now it doesn’t happen anymore. I still do get a little tension in my eyes and body while blocking though
