Breaking the Block

When blocking too many frontal or side strikes in a row to the head, your fighter will move their block to where the majority of the strikes are coming from. This leaves your fighter open to Straights or Hooks depending on where your block has moved. It is best to move away from your opponent when you see your fighter bracing for strikes.
