Ok so my knowledge of this cult is based on one South Park episode and the HBO documentary . but boy did my head spin when I learned about their practices , tactics , principles . <| sep |> I main 2 of those 3 , rip me <| sep |> You can block it sometimes by grabbing the belt with your inside hand and keeping your elbow inside their knee and tight to your hip as you slice , forming a wall on that side . Also once you ' re over their hips your head needs to be low , really low . Try to stick your head under their chin , that will allow you to block their knee shield coming in front of you with your shoulder . That said as you ' ve noticed some people are just very into knee shielding and will do it preemptively . I ' ve looked into this extensively over a period of many years and come to the conclusion there is no way to block the knee shield 100 % of the time if the guy has a hair trigger and will pull it at any opportunity . At this point though I know at least nine ways to pass the knee shield so I don ' t bother putting too much effort into blocking it anymore .
