This type of combat can occur in various forms, including martial arts, boxing, or fencing. The primary objective is to outmaneuver or overpower the opponent using skill, strategy, and physical ability. In many cultures, one-on-one combat has historical significance, often used to settle disputes or demonstrate prowess. It is also a key element in competitive sports, where athletes train rigorously to improve their techniques and performance. Examples of one-on-one combat include karate, judo, and mixed martial arts (MMA).
