A theoretical analysis of the problem of finding optimal means of training specialists for the National Police of Ukraine was carried out. As a result, it was discovered that jiu-jitsu contains a system of soldier training that began in Japan and continues until nowadays. Scientists increasingly pay attention to the technical and energetic aspects of jiu- jitsu training as a universal mean of training cadets for the National Police of Ukraine. In their research, scientists identify two necessary criteria for success in jiu-jitsu: the development of the fighter's physical and energy abilities. Scientists have noticed that jiu-jitsu has a complex effect on the body of cadets and helps to increase their professional fitness. Among the basic principles of jiu-jitsu, which play a decisive role in the training of a future fighter, first of all it is necessary to develop the internal aspects that are beyond technical techniques and characterize jiu-jitsu as a noble art. Scientists single out among them the power of mind – self-control. It helps the fighter in extreme situations, even in mortal danger, to overcome the animal reflexes of his body. They can only turn on correctly under the control of a stable and powerful mind. Mastering technical elements allows to get a comprehensive development of the body's systems. The effectiveness of the use of jiu-jitsu in order to increase the special physical and functional readiness of cadets of the 1st year of the IHE was established and experimentally confirmed. At the end of the study, indicators characterizing the functional state of the cadets' cardiovascular system have improved significantly. The indicators of CSBC, SBV and BPd have increased significantly. Functional indicators of the respiratory system of young wushu cadets at the end of the study also have increased. Significant changes were observed in the VCL, Stange and Genchi tests, respiratory rate. A tendency towards reliability has revealed according to the MBV indicator. Indicators of strength, speed- strength and coordination abilities at the end of the study underwent positive changes. The results in the tests "Number of pull- ups on the bar", "Rope climbing", "Hanging leg raise" and "Running on the gymnastic bench", "Shuttle run", "Changing the position of the legs for 15 s", "Jumping up from the starting position in a squat for 1 s", "Jumping on a support", "Jumping with a rope for 60 s" and "Flexion and extension of the arms in the lying position 5 s" have significantly improved. In the tests "Throwing a stuffed ball from the chest" and "Three overturns", a trend towards validity has been recorded.
