Step back - Jodan Age Uke

Jodan Age Uke is a fundamental technique in Shotokan karate. It translates to 'Upper-Level Rising Block.' This technique involves raising one arm diagonally across the body to intercept and deflect an incoming attack aimed at the upper level (Jodan). The arm performs a rising motion to meet the opponent's strike, redirecting it away from the practitioner's head or upper body. Jodan Age Uke is commonly used for defense against overhead strikes or to create openings for counterattacks in Shotokan karate.
