Materials and methods. Works of modern historians, philologists, linguists and educators on dzhigitovka, which is an element of traditional adyg masculine upbringing, are the materials for researching. We use historical and systematic method for determining complete adyg dzhigitovka upbringing complex and we also use the comparative and typological method for systemizing elements of adyg dzhigitovka as a martial art.
Results. For XIX–XXI centuries adyg dzhigitovka consists of four elements. The most known are those related to martial art. The less known are methodsfor boys physical training. Ideological and sacral parts of adyg masculine upbringing is known from Nartskii epos. And it is also known since adyg scientists Bgazhnokov B.Kh., Kuek M.G. and Kuek A.S., who are culture-bearers, partly desacralize it. Dzhigitovka as a martial art contains many variants of target shooting and a little acrobatic elements. Also there are two or three traditional battle tactics andsome horse tests including practical and sacral ones.
Practical implications. The results of investigation can be used for reviving adyg dzhigitovka as a part of national athletic upbringing and for saving immaterialcultural heritage of the North Caucasus.
