Combat

Combat is defined as "a fight or contest between individuals or groups". There are a great variety of types of combat which an individual can learn, practice, and/or specialize in.

Hand-to-Hand Combat
Hand-to-hand combat is a physical confrontation between two or more persons at very short range that does not involve the use of ranged weapons. While the phrase "hand-to-hand" appears to refer to unarmed combat, the term is generic and may include the use of melee weapons such as knives, sticks, batons, spears, or improvised weapons.
