For me, the ultimate frustration is when I can't do a technique/ukemi/whatever because, although my brain understands the concept just fine, my body is having none of it and refuses to obey me.

It happens a lot during ukemi practice, especially some of the more gymnastic moves, though it can also manifest itself in a technique, e.g. I *know* I'm supposed to step with *that* foot, but it's the *other* one that goes in instead.....
Boy I know the feeling.
*Off Yokomen Shionage*

Sensei: Your stepping across/infront of him, instead just walk normally.
Me: Ok..... *Does techinque incorrectly
Sensei: No, just walk your still stepping infront of him
Me: I am?
Sensei: yup
Me: Ok...*Does techinque incorrectly
Sensei: Watch
Me: That's not what I did?
Sensei: Nope you did this and stepped across him...
Me: Ok,,, *Does techinque incorrectly
