Techniques of hand-to-hand combat are performed against the opponent with weapons and without. In the conditions of the socio-political situation in Ukraine, the formation of hand-to-hand combat skills among the population requires special attention. The purpose of the study is to analyze the native and foreign experience of scientific research on hand-to-hand combat, with the aim of outlining promising directions for its development among other types of martial arts. Research methods: method of analysis of scientific and methodical literature, systematization, generalization. Research results. The modern scientific field of knowledge on the theoretical foundations of hand-to-hand combat separates several main directions, among which are the system of training employees of security forces to perform their professional duties, the system of training athletes in hand-to- hand combat as a sport, and fragmentary studies on the use of hand-to-hand combat tools in the system of physical education of the children of school age. The current state of theoretical studies of hand-to-hand combat for school-aged children encourages a more detailed study of it.
