Bio
Advocate, Author, and Karate Instructor
Justice, Mercy, and Humbleness
An Advocate and an Author, in 2019, Peyman Adl Dousti Hagh became a Karate Instructor with the Udemy-Karate and Self-Defense, bringing to the position more than 30 years of experience. Having attained his Yodan from Kan Zen Ryu, and his Shodan from Isshin Ryu, he had become a qualified instructor and had quickly developed his own style of karate – “Lion Karate Style.”
Born in 1970 in Tehran, Iran, Mr. Dousti witnessed firsthand the 1979 Iranian Revolution, and then a year later, the Iraqi invasion of Iran. Following several years of turmoil in the country, in 1988 Mr. Dousti escaped to Turkey where he resided as a refuge for three years. In 1991 Peyman arrived in Canada as a landed immigrant. A year later he attained an Ontario Secondary Diploma, and soon was employed by the City of Toronto, as a Head Lifeguard. Over the next seven years, Mr. Dousti worked for the City of Toronto in various clerical positions.
Influenced by social and political turmoil in his country of birth and with a passion for continuous learning, Peyman embarked on his academic career in the late 1990s. Recipient of a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Toronto in 2002, he also went on to graduate with a Diploma in Public Administration (Public Sector Management) from the University of Victoria in 2010. In 2014 Mr. Dousti achieved his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Fraser Valley. Last but not least, Peyman is a holder of multiple certifications, including Professional Communications; Abuse Prevention, Autism and Challenging Behavior; Inclusive Leadership; US Public Policy; Fighting for Equality; From Corporate Social Responsibility to Corporate Social Innovation; and Rise to Leadership: Become a CEO.
Over his career, Mr. Dousti published several books, including Lion Karate Style: Deciphering Karate Codes; Dilemma of Pacifism: In Light of Political Realism; Understanding of Complex World: In Simple Light; and Lion Karate Style: Paragon Black Belt, amongst others.
In addition to writing and instructing karate classes, Peyman has been employed a Tenant Support Worker with Abbotsford Community Services (2017-2018) and Mission Association for Community Living (2019-present). There he continues his quest for holistic and spiritual fulfillment by helping the vulnerable members of his community. Mr. Dousti also developed a Coat of Arms in heraldry and calligraphy, and his family motto is Justice, Mercy, and Humbleness, which stems from the Beatitudes.
