Thanks for this article. I keep wondering and wondering why my wife is the most difficult training partner for me and vice versa. The issue of both giving and receiving corrections is certainly a big part of it. (Somehow, it feels much easier to hint at atemi with other training partners, though I wouldn't actually hit any of them either, for example.)

Oh, and about people blocking your technique - that's an opportunity to learn at the next level. As long as they do it so that you are just slightly pushed out of your comfort zone, embrace it!
