About Sije Yuka

Yuka Yoshioka, ph.D, Academy Leader
Sije Yuka leads WingChun Berkeley. She teaches WingChun as applied body training: structure, timing, distance, perception, coordination, and action in conflict. Her earlier training in Tae Kwon Do, Iaido, and Karate gives her a broad sense of mechanics and adaptation across different bodies. A materials scientist by profession, she teaches through demonstration, correction, and repetition. Students learn to pay attention to what the body is doing, adjust without excess, and continue until movement is clear, efficient, and available when needed
