I have no idea what just happened there, all I know is she looked tense as hell and had absolutely no balance in the bottom clip. Why is she doing this in the middle of the road?

[RDJ]

That looked rather robotic to be honest. Why the square stance btw?

There are two basic training stances in the martial arts,horse and cat.Horse isnt really a fighting stance as its a training stance used to teach you how to get your knees under your shoulders,the fighting stance is cat,which is achieved by taking your rear foot back in a half moon.
And its a rote repetition drill to teach the blocking system,in a series of hard blocks,so of course it will look slightly robotic

As far as the blocking style,its a skill set taught in Ed-Parker Ken Po,and Jeet Kun Do

Why not break it up and then work on it as separate responses? I think that the more realistic that training can be, the more that you'll get out of it.

Another thing about about your downward parry/forearm-block, I've always thought that it's dangerous move that should only be used in certain situations. Such as for instance you're parrying their punch on the retreat, which gets you out of range of a follow up, and the parry should give you a brief opportunity to counter with a jab of your own (just like a fencer's move). Otherwise under most conditions it's a dangerous habit.

Thats why I modified in a boxing stance in to an elbow body block,in straight martial arts its meant as a downward block against a straight snap kick
