Close combat is occurs in hand-to-hand combat, when two combatants are well within arms-length from each other. Grappling, body-checking, stabbing and dirty tricks were all historically used in close combat. Since most (but not all) of these actions are considered unsafe, and forbidden in the rules of the list, most fighters do not engage in this sort of extremely close combat, preferring instead to strike from beyond arms-length, which allows for better precision and mobility.
