I don't like the term "block". we are really striking the incoming limb. I either strike the attack with a shuto or parry the attack and strike the neck.
Take the rising block for example, think of using it as a jab, quickly rising and striking the undside the the arm then returning. Can be very painful for the attacker.
I have stopped using the blocks as in the traditional way of locking the block out and use them as you would a strike or kick.

In Shindokan, we don't block...we deflect.

Yeah, you deflect people to the other side of the room!   |
 And I enjoy it quite a lot; better them than me!!
