Try this: While looking in the mirror, narrow your eyes by bringing your lower eyelid upward. Some people need to practice it in the mirror for a while to get it down. When your eyes are narrowed in that way it becomes easier to keep them from closing reflexively when you're hit.

I use to have that problem, but after a while I overcame it. I had the blinking problem because I wasn't relaxed during the practice, and because I was thinking about being hit; not like "Oh, I better not get hit," or "I bet this is going to hurt," but more like anticipating it's arrival and then being surprised when it hit. Kind of like when you are watching a scary movie that you've seen before, and you are waiting for that one part that scared you before to come up, but even though you know when it is and what happens, it still scares/surprises you.

So in my opinion time and experience will be the best way to get over it, but the method already mentioned sounds good to me, too.

Anyways, I hope this helped you out some.

Blinking is mostly an involuntary reflex.

However, as stated before we often blink involuntarily in anticipation of certain events like getting hit, something painful, a loud noise.

Shooters often run into this problem when the "flinch" before shooting. They anticipate the recoil of the gun and twitch just prior to and during the actual shot. If they shoot properly they are actually suprised by the recoil and don't flinch until after the bullet leaves the gun. Blinking also works the same way. When a shooter gets comfortable and relaxes they don't blink until after the shot or they don't even blink at all.
