Melee or close combat is a form of combat where the participants will physically fight in proximity of each others' bodies. It may be done in a constrained, "safe" environment such as a spar or a duel, or on the other end of the spectrum it may be a fight to the death, or even form part of a wartime battle. Melee combat is usually done either with one's body parts such as fists, or with certain weapons such as swords and clubs.
