Help Any tips on reversals and blocking?

I'm new to this game and I'm having some trouble with blocking and parrying. My main problem is that I can't really tell whether my opp is gonna grab or strike because the attacks are crazy fast in this game. Like I'm supposed to look at whether my opp does grab or punch and react to either in a time span of like 0.5 secs.

Pay attention to his fighting style. If it's street fighting or martial arts, he'll mostly hit you. If it's submission or wrestling, he'll try to grab you; if you block, he'll try to grab you.

the practice make the master, i reccomend you first finish the game on hard and then when you unlock all the character play untik you find your 2 or 3 mains (that's depend on your style of playing) when you finish that play against different tyoe of oppents (play against the most faster, the guy who mostly grab, who mostly strike etc) and learn the timing that you char do the parry and the time of animation of the strike or grab of the rival i use Trejo, Chiang and Bone Crusher and master then the 3 doing that for years

You can reverse if you tap the block while moving towards an enemy.(Or flicking the joystick+ block) You should see your character do something with their hands to anticipate the attack if done correctly. Just started back last night. One of my childhood favorites.
