In taekwondo, the blocks are actually strikes, as Seasoned described. The block is intended to damage the attacker's limb, in addition to keeping it from hitting you. So in essence, you block and strike simultaneously.

Any chance on getting a demonstration on this? The blocks I learned in my TKD training were way to slow, and complex to be used for just "blocking", So I always figured there was more to them then that. But I haven't been able to find any way to apply the movements to anything.
