Age uke or upper block is one of the first blocks practiced in Shotokan karate. If you are looking to learn karate online, start very slow, gradually picking up the speed and power. The actual karate technique is very important, you can easily injure yourself if you practice incorrectly. A good idea is to film yourself practicing age uke, then play it back and critique it, then film again and so on. This video shows age uke in shizentai (natural stance), we have other videos showing age uke stepping forward and back, age uke within kata (forms) and kumite (sparring).
