Methods of training athletes in taekwondo and kickboxing to develop positional advantage

the popularity of martial arts in our country requires a special approach to the analysis and study of innovative methods of training athletes in various applied sports. The lack of scientific and methodological materials for the training of athletes of the highest sports skills makes it difficult for them to achieve competitive advantages in international competitions. The purpose of the study was a pedagogical analysis of the competitive activities of athletes with a high level of training in key duels in similar sports: taekwondo and kickboxing (pointfighting) and the preparation of training methods. Pedagogical supervision was carried out with an assessment of the semi-final and final matches at the Russian, European and world championships in taekwondo and kickboxing. The features and patterns in competitive duels that lead to victory or defeat are revealed. It is determined that creating a favorable situation in a duel for the implementation of attacks or defense by gaining a positional advantage by increasing the pace of the duel by maneuvering and changing the distance in relation to the opponent allows athletes to win more likely in duels. The "10-second rule" method of athletes' training has been developed. A pedagogical experiment was conducted, which confirmed the effectiveness of this technique. Based on the conducted research, conclusions have been developed and recommendations have been given on the methodology of technical and tactical training of athletes in taekwondo and kickboxing.
