Combat Sports

Combat sports are competitive physical contests where participants engage in direct physical confrontation, often involving various techniques and strategies to defeat an opponent. These sports typically have established rules and regulations and can include striking, grappling, or a combination of both. Examples of combat sports include boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), wrestling, judo, karate, and kickboxing. Participants train rigorously to develop their skills in techniques, conditioning, and strategy, often competing in organized events or matches. The primary objective in combat sports is usually to outscore or incapacitate the opponent through permitted techniques, demonstrating not only physical prowess but also mental discipline and sportsmanship.
