Any codified one-on-one striking, grappling or throwing discipline belongs here; sports without direct physical contact to score do not.
Combat Sports covers sports in which two athletes compete directly against each other through striking, grappling or throwing under a formal rule set, such as boxing, judo, martial arts, taekwondo and wrestling. Any codified one-on-one combat discipline belongs here, while sports where opponents do not physically contact each other to score are excluded no matter how intense the competition.
