Combat is a purposeful violent conflict between multiple combatants with the intent to harm the opposition. Combat may be armed or unarmed. Combat is resorted to either as a method of self-defense or to impose one's will upon others.

Combat may also be benign and recreational, as in the cases of combat sports and mock combat.
