There's nothing shameful about it at all. Not feeling something, in your situation, would have been a particularly bad sign.
Some things provoke responses no matter what. If I push you a little, your body will automatically try to right itself and regain balance, no matter what you might want to do, even before you have a chance to really think about doing it. Exploiting that response is a principle of martial arts, but since everything is martial arts, there's no reasons monsters and maniacs can't exploit it too.
