That's completely normal mate if you carry on going you'll see you stop doing that, as long as your sparring partner is aware that you're new to all this they should take it easy on you, and you'll find you stop flinching and stop being nervous, you'll actually start to look forward to it!

Whats the instructor where you train like?
