Travel to mistwatch tower. In the north tower you will come across a fellow named Christer. He tells you that his wife was taken by bandits and that he believes her to be somewhere in mistwatch. Fight your way to the end where you'll find the bandit leader who happens to be christer's wife. She tells you that she left him and became the leader of the bandits there. Tell her that you arw tired of this and that you should just kill her. Kill her. Go back,to christer and tell him you had to kill her. He will feebly attack you and you can just stand there and block his attaxks until block is up to one hundred. My sheild is enchanted to block 30% of damage, so this piddly chicken neck isnt even hurting me, but my bloxking is up 35 levels in just over an hour. I tied down the left trigger and went and made a sandwhich. Oh, speaking of sandwichea... Position yourselft in front of christer so that his back is against the wall and beside the support post leading into the room you find him in, that way he stays in one place while he tickles you
 
I thought you would get more block skill the more damage you absorb with the shield? So could this old guys fists possibly gain block skill that fast? I haven't had time to try and confirm this so if anyone has, please give any details you got on this. Blocking skill is a pain so this could be something good.
 
I've found most People or undead with 2h weapons, giants and dragons to do quite high damage too.
Are you saying these random encounter thieves are even better? I do remember almost getting killed by them a few times but...
Those daggers are so tiny :p
 
I went to the cave with the trolls that's just to the East of Whiterun. Kill one. Let the other beat on your shield. If your health gets low just Foos him away and you will have time to heal yourself before he comes back.
 
i get about three wolves and choose the warrior stone then i crouch in a corner taping my block button down and heal every 30 minutes
 
Lol that sounds like quite an annoying way to do it. Wolves are weak (if we're not talking ice wolves on lower levels) and they make ugly sounds. Just make sure to shield against melee bosses a lot and shield bash enemies every now and then.

I don't think there is a "good way" to get block skill.
Unless you have enough health to stand against a couple of giants with the shield up.. That and strong dragons when they land to bite, block it. ;)
 
I used a Giant to get from 90 to 100 in about 5 minutes. I got an increase about once every three blocks. The rate of increase is affected by the amount of damage blocked. The OP's plan, while safe, is an incredibly slow way to raise it.

Just use block as you normally would and it will increase just fine on it's own. I got mine to 90 through normal combat. The last 10 points can be very slow though and when I noticed 2 quick increases against this giant, I just let him keep hitting my shield and voila.
 
I use ice wolves but i found a better way THE OGHMA INFINIUM

yes, I am also in the middle of hunting that little piece of awesome down...I heard they are going to patch it but I have yet to see it in any official patch notes or anything of the sort
