WOW that is perfect technique! The same technique he taught in that video of him, he falls to the head and pulls in the direction of the pinky for the win. Amazing.
gokor is my sensei all i would say is do not mess with him he looks calm and stuff but... u just saw what he did to the japanese big mothafker ;)) go Armenia!
He looks like he'd still be pretty big without all that muscle. Maybe he took them and maybe he didn't. He definitely spent many hours in the gym regardless.
apris ...halala qez ...when u walk to the ring with an armenian music n when they intrduce u (gokor from armenia)there is nothing better u could of done for us as armenians.....
hey karren i spent the weekend with your dad, ken and my master vrej. hope to see you in september for the tourament. your dad is just great, awesome to be around, i hope he keeps kicking ur ass so one day i can see you get famous like him, definately a source of inspiration for 18 year old kids like me. i still cant believe i was having breakfast, lunch and dinner with the guy. ive been waiting for someone to post more videos of him so maybe youd be able to
This fight took place when MMA was still a very esoteric sport... very few fights were documented outside the UFC. Gokor has 80-90 mma fights under his belt - most were in the 1980s and early 1990s, before organizations like Sherdog were keeping track. It was a different era. So it's hard to know how good Maeda was... but Gokor's abilities are clearly backed by the multitude of top level UFC and Pride fighters who seek him out for instruction.
Meada was the Guy who fought Rickson in the final of the 94 Vale Tudo Champs. He was blinded by an eye gouge by Gerad Gordeau(?)in his first fight and still got to the final!!!!
That's right Gene Lebell baby. Not taking anything away from Goko, dudes got his own dynasty. His school is right acrosst the street from where I live. It's on Sunset and Normandie in Hollywood, tons of kids training with gokor now.
Actually, Gokor recently moved his school to North Hollywood on Burbank Blvd. He has a new studio with 40 ft ceilings and over 4000 sq ft of mat space. Cant' wait to train there!
hell yeaaaaaa.
gokor is my trainer and he is the bestt

I had Gokor out for a seminar in NY in the late 90's, he was a stand up great guy, very humble and his skills are off the charts.

Gokor does seminars in Europe.
I had the luck to train with him.
funny thing... i asked him about what he is thinkin while a match and he told me he dont think because thinkin makes you slow ;o)
