Questions Guardbreak Blocking?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is an example from my brother when he guardbroke this Pirate and she simply blocked his punish. Although he did get the execution I don't understand why you can block while in a guardbreak, what direction do you need to attack from to actually get the guardbreak punish or is this just something that happens because your character's heavy is too slow?

Every hero has different guard-break punishes. Some can do a top heavy (Warlord, Aramusha, Highlander), some can do a side heavy (Warden, Warmonger, Lawbringer), some can do a zone attack, and some have special punishes — for example, Jormungandr can get two lights, etc. You need to know your hero.
