There must be a good way? I know it's hard to defend but it can't be impossible?
Also, if you block with your palm, you leave your face open. What do you mean by leaving room open when blocking with elbows? Do you mean lowering your elbows (i.e. leaving face open?) or lowering elbows by means of lowering entire body?
