That gif is what Kizaru was doing from my understanding. Yasakani no Magatama has him cross his arms as you said while we clearly see him with open palms in a defensive stance last chapter on top of straigth up blocking with his knees.
But again, if a clash is happening, whatever its nature, aCoC wouldn't be a waste. It would simply be a way to possibly go through or overpower whatever your strikes are clashing with.
