Hand-to-hand combat is a physical confrontation between two or more persons at short range (grappling distance or within the physical reach of a handheld weapon) that does not involve the use of ranged weapons. The phrase "hand-to-hand" sometimes includes the use of melee weapons, such as knives, swords, clubs, spears, axes, or improvised weapons such as entrenching tools.
