Age uke or upper rising block is one of the first blocks practiced in karate. Normally used as defence against an over head attack, maybe with a blunt weapon. In the dojo karateka practice the block against a straight punch to the head, they do this to work on their timing and distance, some karate sensei teach age uke as an attack also.
Below is a sample tutorial video for Age Uke, for the rest of the series, please visit karate classes online
