Introduction. Theoretical training is an independent section of the kyokushinkai training system. The essential role of theoretical training is recognized by the majority of methodologists and coaches, which is associated with the great technical and tactical complexity of the sport and the high requirements for the athlete's physical training. However, there is still no consensus among methodologists regarding the content of theoretical training, its volume and place in the structure of training. The purpose of the study. This work aims to systematize the available approaches to theoretical training in kyokushinkai. Results. Based on the analysis carried out, it can be argued that: 1). The need for theoretical training in kyokushinkai is certainly recognized by trainers and methodologists; 2). There is no single view on the role and content of theoretical training in kyokushinkai; 3). The volume of theoretical training and its place in the structure of an athlete's training varies seriously in various regulatory documents; 4). The approach to theoretical training, fixed with the current federal standard of kokushinkai sports training, requires significant adjustment
