He was born in Veles, Ottoman Empire, now in North Macedonia, in 1878 or 1880. In 1894 he became an IMARO member and went underground in 1896, joining Andon Kyoseto's detachment and later working with Mihail Popeto and Krastyo Asenov. In 1902 he became Gorna Dzhumaya district voivode and a member of the Strumitsa Revolutionary Committee, participating in the Miss Stone affair.

In the spring of 1903 Dokurchev went to the Krushevo district with Pitu Guli's detachment as commander of the First Unit. During the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising, he participated in the capture of Krushevo and the defence of the Krushevo Republic.

After the uprising he was again a voivode in the Gorna Dzhumaya district in 1904 – 1905, and from the following year, 1906, he was an underground member of the Strumitsa District Revolutionary Committee and district inspector of detachments.
