Abstract. In modern conditions, the military profession does not exclude activities related to the forcible detention of a criminal or aggressor. A serviceman who is proficient in hand-to-hand combat often achieves superiority over a physically stronger enemy who outnumbers him. In this case, the defenders use motor actions that, if properly directed and applied by internal and external forces, provide either a gain in strength or a gain in time. Naturally, in the process of special physical training (SPT) the issue of effective training of hand-to-hand combat techniques plays an important role in achieving a positive result in the performance of the task.
 The existing practice of special physical training in higher military educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine shows that today, in the process of cadets' SPT, the rich material accumulated by specialists in the theory and methods of physical education and sports training is not yet fully used.
