being a purely hand to hand fighter, i would have to extrapolate on my knowledge and agree with shakran.

personally, i'm a big fucker, i weigh 230 pounds and it's mostly muscle, that being said, i will still not try to block anything by just sticking an arm up and meeting force with force. that way leads to injury, or a short career.

your best bet is to deflect the blow along a different line of force (most blocking techniques follow this principle, very few rely on being able to absorb the impact). thus, saving your limbs and taking your opponent off balance...i have a feeling that if i were to use Dizzet's blocking method i would end up with a broken arm and maybe a broken sword.
