is there also the low block, middle block ecc.ecc.

2- what are the principle behind kung fu blocks?

3- Somebody can do a list of main block on kung fu style( all style on general)

You'll get 500 entries if you do an entire post search (500 is the max so there's likely more) and 25 if you restrict to a title search.

One of the most important principles I have learned is that you should have a good handle on Timing and Spacing. Then you use footwork and body movement to avoid attacks. This way if your "blocks" miss then you still wont get hit, or the hitting force will be reduced.

Actually the kung fu I practice rarely uses direct "blocks" if you define block as using your arm or leg to absorb the impact directly, force on force. Instead we use threading, leaning, and sweeping maneuvers to redirect force.

Hope this helps,
David
