Summary:

It is mostly used in reference to military, elite fighting forces, or law-enforcement tactics and includes a wide range of different techniques. Close quarters combat comprises various moves focusing on robust, efficient, and often deadly strategies of battle. It borrows from disciplines such as wrestling, boxing, and judo, as well as more modern arts such as sambo and Muay Thai. In some cases, there are uses of weapons, ammunition, protective gear, and special maneuvers. Close quarters combat can include confrontations involving various distances, ranging from thirty meters to hand-to-hand combat.
