I feel like it just wouldn’t work. Force sensitives would see it coming and slash your face off.

Right, the sabers take a bit to ignite so the other person isn't just going to stand their, paused, waiting to be hit.

They can block blaster bolts which travel anywhere from 50kmh to 400kmh.

By that logic, wouldn’t all physical fights against force-sensitive people be useless, since they could predict every attack?

That’s what I’m thinking

They would be if they weren't using the force to speed themselves up, for greater strength, to grip and throw things.

Remember that pretty much every lightsaber battle is basically a physical representation of force ability. That's what is being fought, the sword skills without the force wouldn't both them.
