It depends on the style of karate, and most styles have more then one. For example, Tang Soo Do has only the parry block (the rest of the "blocks" are actually strikes), yet tae kwon jitsu has low x-block, high block, reverse outside block etc.

Blocks are called "oke" in karate. They are used to prevent yourself from getting hurt from an oncoming attack. A good blocking skill is necessary for self defense.

Why do you need a karate expert to split a block of wood?

You don't need to have a karate expert to break a block of wood, but it is definitely better to have someone who is experienced to do it. Would you rather have an experienced karateka break a board, or have an unexperienced karateka break it and end up breaking their self (such as hand, or foot) because they don't know how to properly break it?


Is karate more fun then basketball?

It depends really Karate you can get injured and in basketball you can get injured but in karate you can brake your arm and in basketball you can sprain your ankle if you play roughly so no basketball is better then karate so chose basketball. I play basketball and a girl on the other team tried to smack by jumping to it but the girl with the ball moved and the one girl hit smack down on the floor and twisted her ankle because she was being rough. I was in karate but I quit because i broke my arm by braking a block.
