Meet Sahyun Lylian Doulay

My journey in martial arts began when I was around 10 years old. From a young age, I was fascinated by martial arts and captivated by the thrilling action in fighting movies.

I'm grateful to have had a long competition career and I've had many memorable moments, but my proudest achievements is when I won Gold in the men's 4th-6th Dan patterns at the World Championship in 2019 in Inzell, Germany.

Competition Highlights:

ITF World Champion - 2019
ITF World Cup Champion - 2012, 2014, 2016
5x ITF European Champion
4x ITF European Cup

Today, my work goes well beyond competition. I recently participated in the IIC in Slovakia, and I continue to serve as Technical Director in France, as well as a member of both the AETF Technical Committee and the ITF Athletes Committee. I also teach in my own school, offer online coaching for high-level athletes, and have several seminars already scheduled.

I’m always open to helping practitioners who want to strengthen their patterns. As an international umpire, I often see fundamental mistakes that can be corrected with the right guidance, and I enjoy supporting athletes as they refine their technique and reach their goals.

What’s next?:

Looking ahead I am committed to fostering the Growth, Integrity and Fairness of ITF Taekwon-Do worldwide.

I continue to advocate for athlete rights, clean sport and fair competition.

Locally, I coach at Nio TKD & Fitness, mentor aspiring practitioners, and serve both the ITA Technical Committee and the ITF Asia Development Committee. My goal is to uphold the true spirit of Taekwon-Do and inspire others to pursue excellence on and off the mat.

My experience working with Mightyfist:

I have been always supported by Mightyfist from the very start of the brand. This is the best brand ever, doboks and all sports wears!
