Objective of the study was to analyze the teenage personal reflection formation logics and offer new personal reflection training model for teenage martial arts. Methods and structure of the study. The study was run at Children and Youth Sport School in Yakutsk, with its teenage boxing, freestyle wrestling, judo, taekwondo and kickboxing groups sampled (n=80) for the study. The following methods were applied to analyze the adolescent combat athletes` personal reflection: observation, interview, and questionnaire survey. The personal reflection of the sample was rated by expert observations, interviews and questionnaire surveys to profile the individual self-analyzing and reflection skills and growth on the intellectual, ethical and physical progress test scales. Based on the questionnaire survey results, we elaborated a personal reflection development program that was implemented in a system of body-oriented psychotherapy and physical exercises during the training sessions. As part of the experiment, we conducted group discussions, mini-lectures, games accompanied with a lot of physical activity, organized work in pairs and triples, formed the trainees` motor skills. Particular attention was paid to the formation of awareness of individual physical sensations, conscious self-control to develop reasonable self-esteem using the practical skills of body self-regulation and self-control, as well as awareness of different components of personal reflection. Results and conclusions. The new personal reflection training model for teenage martial artists was proved beneficial, with most of the sample tested with progress on the personal reflection rating scales. The sports were found to facilitate their physical progress, body shaping, self-control and willpower building agendas. Well-designed and purposeful personal reflection training service with the relevant progress encouragement psychological provisions may be recommended for special physical and mental conditioning practices in youth sports.
