Hayastan Grappling for MMA with Gokor Chivichyan

Heck, I wish Gokor would put out comprehensive Judo DVDs... He's better than any American I've seen do Judo.

Good One.....Sensei Gokor !!!

go team hayastan

all that stuff came from judo. Kimura is named after a famous judoka. Armbar, triangle, arm triangle, kimura, americana, etc all judo. Leglocks are from sambo though and various wrestling.

bjj was modified judo just to be specific, and judo was modified japanese juijitsu. Maeda taught carlos gracie judo not japanese juijitsu.

No need to assume. I have been to Rickson's in West LA but prefer Hayastan. In Hayastan you drink from the well - directly from Gokor. At Gracie's place nothing but a few pictures of Rickson. LOL Plus Gracie's is ran like a business - no soul. I put a guy in a leg lock during sparring and the instructor started yelling and screaming "no leg locks, do not want to get sued". UUUUHHHHH What? Is it a dojo or????????

mma is where the best are locate

Fyi Rickson ducked gokor several time. Gokor wanted to fight him in the wfa

Gokor is in his early 40 s. He makes a lot more money teaching than fighting. The Gracies are phenominal and made grappling mainstream. However, they refined ju-jitsu in 1925 and thereafter. Many moves they do were done decades before in carnivals in Europe and America. They were done by catch wrestlers such as Ed Strangler Lewis and others. At the same time, grappling was developed centuries before in Asia.

Gokor is so fluid in this video clip that it,s safe to assume he is the real deal.

I dont know what you're talking about. Grappling has saved my ass a number of times. I'm small and scrappy, but grappling has came through for me a lot. I got in a fight a while back, ended it in a couple of seconds by ducking a punch and getting a choke hold locked, but then his friends jumped in. Luckily my friends pulled them off,but even while being hit, I did not let go of that hold.

Since when does being in an MMA fight prove how good of a fighter you are? If I was skilled enough to teach students, I shouldn't be expected to go into the UFC to prove to everyone I'm a good fighter. Gokor has won his share of tournaments, and let's see, UFC fighters personally seek him out to train under, So the very MMA fighters you look up to, look up to this guy, so your doubt proves your ignorance.

My trainer is a top student under gokor and Gene Lebell, he's amazing. Look up the martial artist Max Bishop if you wanna know more about him. He's also met Royce Gracie, his team is always number 1 in tournaments.

It does work and you're right; its is hard to do. The key thing though is to work with what your opponent gives you. Don't just try to impose your will, keep moving with your guy until he makes a mistake...ie. leave a limb out, move off-balance, then go for it. It's a chess match through & through.

sometimes you think it colud work on a fight but its very hard to apply any of that if both has ground fight
