Unless of course you're fighting someone who has some skill, in which case you "might" need some defense. In that case, learn boxing which has HANDS DOWN, the best defenses to punching that you can come by. -John

Anonymous Unregistered	best block, dont be there. If you must block use limb destruction, such as lift your elbow into the line of attack. Only use methods then are both defensive and offensive. if you can't counter fast enough and must block redirect and damage. I went with karate and boxing methods. Karate good for limb destruction and boxing good for immediate countering. Ethier methods defenses are fine

Anonymous Unregistered	Blocks are after the fact to moving. Doesnt matter how good the block is if you dont move out of the way, your gonna wear at least some of the strikes coming at you. Not being there is the only sure defence. However blocks can be used offensively and for trapping and grabbing so they're not completly useless. Just don't rely on them.
