Combat Sports involve physical contests between two or more opponents, typically utilizing a combination of striking techniques (such as punches, kicks, and knees) and grappling maneuvers (such as throws, joint locks, and chokeholds). These sports require a high level of skill, strength, endurance, and strategic thinking, with the ultimate goal of defeating the opponent through a knockout, submission, or points-based decision. Common examples of combat sports include boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), wrestling, judo, taekwondo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
