Zusammenfassung:The authors have conducted research aimed at determining the most effective and significant techniques and tactics during athletic competitions. The results of summarized and analyzed research material on competitive mixed martial arts provide information as to what techniques and tactics can allow one to reach advantages in the evaluated techniques (combinations of techniques) and to achieve superior results in terms of activity and domination in the active position, which are essential for judges making a decision according to the results of the bout. The article presents a comparative analysis of competitive fights in mixed martial arts of MMA fighters of young and adult men. The most frequent techniques and tactics in MMA fights assessed by us are the transfers or throws of the opponent from the "stance" position to the "ground" position, in the result of which the attacking athlete took a dominating position and continued the attack in 26 % - for young men, and in 32 % - for adult men. 35% and 25% of athletes, respectively, used an accentuated hand strike in the standing position. We registered a range of the simplest striking techniques used by young male fighters in the majority of competitions as the main way of achieving the techniques being assessed. According to the pedagogical observation of the MMA competitions, interviews and talks with the specialists in this kind of sport, the basic type of martial arts chosen by the fighters has a great influence on their fighting style and the use of techniques/tactics in MMA competitions, which is confirmed by the results of the research. The analysis of MMA competitions shows the predisposition of some fighters to striking martial arts - 19% or to wrestling - 47%, also there are universal fighters - 34%. This is natural, as various athletes use different methods to achieve victory: some use mainly striking techniques, others use mainly technical fighting techniques, and universal fighters use both striking and wrestling techniques and their combinations successfully. Fighters, who have skills of "basic" martial arts, achieve advantages in a competitive fight due to the techniques and tactics of their kind of martial arts, gradually adapting to the conditions and rules of mixed martial arts.
