My friend, blocking and catching a punch are the same thing.

No, they are not. By the loosest definitions of the English language. This isn't even a redirect, a type of block that slightly turns an attackers blow to avoid you. He straight up catches the man's forearm in mid air.

You won't slow it down. You won't stop it. If you attempt to catch a punch in mid air, you're going to take that fist to the face and end up on LiveLeak martial arts fails.

My friend, how can you block a punch without catching it first?

Because you don't catch a fist to block it.

My friend, you have to catch a fist in midair to block it.

Thats not how you block. No self defense arts will have you attempting something so idiotic.
