Combat

Combat is purposeful physical conflict involving violence.

Combat is usually used to describe people's actions during warfare. However, the term can be used generically to describe any destructive conflict.

• Combat that is not part of warfare is just commonly called fighting.
• Combat Violence can be unilateral, while fighting implies a reaction, at least a defensive one.
• Combat may be armed or unarmed (meaning with or without weapons).
• Combat may take place under a certain set of rules or be unregulated. Examples of rules include the Geneva Convention, the code of the Knights of the Round Table, and the Marquess of Queensberry rules.

Deliberate targeting of civilians, by military or paramilitary groups is discussed in terrorism, genocide, and war.

Hand-to-hand combat is combat at very close range, touching the opponent with the body (striking, kicking, strangling, etc.) or with a weapon, e.g. a knife, baton, etc., as opposed to firing or throwing a projectile.
