AC, Maidens can pull out rocks from their asses with their powers. Steel swords cannot cut rocks.

And less dependant on Maiden powers, there's this beautiful thing called Aura that can allow you to resist things ranging from recoil when firing guns to being hammered into the stratosphere.

So yes, Hunters, and anyone just as powerful, let alone someone more powerful, would be able to do a bare-handed blade-block with enough training, which Cinder obviously already has (and more).
