Combat Sports

Combat sports are competitive physical contests in which participants engage in various forms of fighting or martial arts. These sports typically involve skills such as striking, grappling, or a combination of both. Athletes in combat sports may compete in a regulated environment, often wearing protective gear and following specific rules to ensure safety. Common examples of combat sports include boxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), wrestling, judo, and karate. The objective in most combat sports is to defeat the opponent by scoring points through techniques or by achieving a knockout or submission. The practice of combat sports can also involve training and conditioning to improve physical fitness, strategic thinking, and mental toughness.
