Foot Blocks. The feet may be used to block kicks and punches, even high section attacks. For example, a crescent kick, inside or outside, may be used to block a punch to the head. I once trained under a Korean master who would use a lead leg outside crescent kick to block a punch, and then use the toes of the foot to grab the opponent's lapel and then pull the opponent forward into a reverse punch.
Elbow Blocks. The point of an elbow may be used to block a kick. It is dangerous to use in that the narrow surface area of the elbow makes it easy to miss the leg entirely, but if the elbow makes contact it will probably cause serious injury to the leg.
Shoulder Blocks. A shoulder may be rotated toward the inside to block punches or kicks.
Hip Blocks. A hip may be rotated toward the inside to block kicks.
Target Substitution. Although not actually a block, a less desirable target may be substituted for a vital target to minimize damage. For example, if a kick is aimed at the lower ribs, the resulting impact could cause broken ribs. If the body is rotated so the impact point will be upon locked down lower abdominal muscles, where the impact will probably only cause bruising.
