Hello hasan. There are no lessons on the pucker embouchure. You can learn from all of the material on the site, just substitute tongue block-exclusive techniques with pucker. For example, when a slap is used, just play the note. When an octave is used, play the upper notated note of the octave. When a pull is used, open your mouth wide and use a TA articulation. It's pretty self-explanatory.
Tongue blocking offers more options, many options of which are only available in a tongue block. The techniques like slaps, flutters, pulls and octaves are employed in almost every lick of a blues harmonica player. Basically, to play Little Walter, Big Walter, John Lee Williamson, Rice Miller, James Cotton, George Harmonica Smith... and the list goes on, you'll need to learn how to tongue block... they were all tongue blockers.
Don't think of this as staring over with a new embouchure, but your next step as a player, like it was mine many years ago. Best wishes on your studies.
