I'd play on the NA servers. otherwise you won't actually be able to manual block reliably at all if your ping is over 200 :(
I'm willing to teach any time I'm in the NA duel server.
Ask in game and most good players will help you too.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

Load up Warband Native.
Start a single player game.
Go to the Training Field.
Enter options, set blocking to "Manual, by mouse direction" and Battle AI to "Low".
Ask the Veteran Fighter for a duel.
Try to block all his attacks.
When you can block all attacks for 30-60 seconds, set Battle AI to "Medium" and repeat.
When you can block all attacks for 30-60 seconds, set Battle AI to "High" and repeat until bored.

This will give you intensive basic manual block training, which is the most basic and necessary skill to survive in cRPG. You'll do significantly better after this.

Welcome!
Anyone new to Mount & Blade: Warband should start in the native game. Need the basic training to get the feel of the game.
cRPG could be rough for someone who never tried the original version of this game.
It is fun to just jump in and explore, but to be helpful to your team mates you need lots of practice.
Key is: have fun!
*playing for fun will help ease the frustration of getting clobbered over and over!

well, when i started out and didn't know what was front and back of my sword, i made an agi build, so i could get a few kills simply by moving in and out of range with my katana. That took some of the frustration caused by not being able to block :)

It also helped me to go play against the single player bots, and then some guys guys on the duel server taught me a little (The duel server is very good practice, ust dont duel those who top the scoreboard)
