At the current stage of the development of martial arts in Ukraine and in the world, urgent issues of scientific and methodological support of the system of multi-year training of martial arts athletes, starting from the early stages of training, are gaining importance. Martial arts specialists need to search for the most rational and effective means and methodical approaches to the formation and improvement of the technical and tactical arsenal of athletes. The purpose of such an approach will be to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the competitive activity of martial arts athletes.

The following research methods were used during the study: abstraction, analysis and synthesis, modeling, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, analysis of competitive activity, methods of mathematical statistics.
As a result of the analytical and research work, the effectiveness of the training methodology and improvement of counterattacking technical and tactical actions of taekwondo athletes at the stage of specialized basic training was established.
