The people I train with and I have been having a debate over the use of the slice block vs. the brace block. The main idea being that whenever we see the real haymaker strikes being thrown the slice block is just not something we can get to work in an effective way for defense. Adding in the concept of taking the angle and footwork it just doesn't seem to be the tool to use in a full contact match. Perhaps it is being used in the wrong way but in practice when one person hits full power and the other tries to slice block and evade inside the strike it won't play. Any comments/suggestions/areas in which to look for a answer would be appreciated
