I tend to use pak sau and wu sau the most, as i find tan sau and fok sau to difficult to use against a fast combination of 5 or 6 punches.
What are your thoughts?
The object is not to hurt someone else, but to stop them from hurting you
dont block
theres no blocking
when one hand retreats follow it to strike
close the gap
dont stand away and block a rapid sucession of punches
its much harder to defend that attack
peace

Receive what comes, Escort what leaves, and if there is an opening, rush in
Why let the guy get up to 5 or 6 punches?

For training purposes…
work on strengthening your structure.
I do that as well
good point WH

Jeff…you should train to not let a guy get that many swings!!
Just my opinion…

i do Joe, you state a good point 
but i also like to just train my blocks without countering and see how effective they work for me, and also to help my self understand the principles behind them more
In a real fight i would let my opponent get off more than one punch, and i know this from experience

for optimum results
Focus on yourself, and not “the opponent”.
WH, by that, do you mean what suits me?

Because i am missing my leg i find it harder to rush in and close the gap immediately, and i find it easeir for me to block a few punches and then close the gap and hit them.

I was just reinforcing the importance of solidifying the structure. Something you should probably focus on twice as much as everyone else.
Regardless of what an opponent is doing, your first defense, in a sense, is your structure. It doesn’t matter what technique your executing, your structure is most important.
To answer your initial question: What blocks do you tend to use to defend against a flury of punches?
No block, just hold out arm of choice, in position of choice, let the structure do the work, moving or not.
By the way,
is it my understanding, from a previous post, that you are teaching yourself? or do you have a sifu? Also, why did you choose Wing Chun?

I did have a sifu for a few months, but he moved, and i am teaching myself now through videos, and enjoy teaching myelf alot, but I do hope to find a sifu one day.
I chose Wing Chun because of it’s simplicity, it is direct, and it focuses more on in-fighting, where as long range fighting would not be good for me because of my leg and thus Wing Chun suits my body very well. I like the fact that it focuses more on lower kicks instead of higher kicks, and that it is not based on force against force.

I’ve seen a video of Jim Fung deflecting chain punches with one hand just changing from bong sao to tan sau. The other person just couldn’t get through no matter how hard she tried. It was pretty cool actually 
“Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast,
You just won’t last!”
Something I have found effective against a flurry of straight punches (any other kind are easy to close in on) is to tan the first with the same hand then pack strongly the hand only needs to move a few inches so you stop the attack at source, the next attack is almost invariably stronger (read tenser) and you can receive teh force comfortably with a pivot and lap. This leaves it to your imagination which strike to use. I prefer to kick the leg that jerks forward to stop the oponent falling. In geenral as teh transition from the tan to the pack is so easy the opponent will get frustrated and over commit with a punch. I have no doubt those of you with better/more experience will find flaws in this but i have found it to work (albeit against unskilled opponents).
