? 4 Mr. Dimitri or any Senshido rep

I have Tony Blauer's SPEAR tapes which I liked very much but since I ordered your tapes, I much preferred your approach on the flinch response as I found it more practical and less stylized than the SPEAR. I found your approach is much more open to change and the various spontaneous types of assaults than the SPEAR. I ordered several of your tapes from black belt and found them to be excellent and some of the best I've seen. My question is based on your fundamentals tape where you talk about "human and variable error" which is something I don't think anyone has ever even thought of. My partner and I were working off of defending from a sudden attack off of human and variable error, we did as you said and created an uncertain terrain with obstacles where one person would capitilize on the other's mistakes and attack quickly and suddenly and I found that my initial flinch (especially immediately after hitting the ground and my partner was still standing) was to cover up almost in a fetal position while my partner would repeatedly kick and stomp me. I tend to panic there and find myself not being able to retaliate. Do you have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.
