Answer 6

First 3 I was taught: Low block, high block, body block.

Body block is across the body

Answer 7

Are you talking about the forearm block?  If so, that's new to me--I didn't learn those as my first blocks in karate  (the first blocks I learned were the low/down block, high block, and knife-hand block)--but maybe you're in a different karate style than I was in.

Anyway, it does sound like the type of technique is the forearm block. Inside-outside forearm, outside-inside...and I forget the last one.

As for telling you how to do them, it's difficult to explain. You'd have better luck finding it on a youtube video. With a video, you can get the basic idea, and your instructor can correct you if you're doing it wrong.   (just don't try learning everything from video--it's best to learn from the instructor)
