The method of expert evaluations and analysis of video materials of the All-Ukrainian handto- hand combat competitions held in 2022–2023 were used to study the specifics of competitive activity. Results. It has been established that the competitive activity of young athletes at the initial stages of multi-year improvement is determined by the general laws inherent in hand-to-hand combat, but has its own peculiarities. A competitive match of young athletes takes place most of the time in a standing position with a very high density and has a shock orientation, trying to compensate for the shortcomings in tactical training, the fighters perform a large number of technical actions, and the vast majority of applied technical and tactical actions are simple blows and techniques, the fight itself takes place on long distance between opponents, therefore, young men prefer kicks, the effectiveness of striking techniques remains low.
