The range in which both combatants are on their feet. Fighting in this range draws extensively from Boxing and Muay Thai Kickboxing.

The range in which both combatants are in physical contact. Fighting in this range draws extensively from Greco Roman and Free Style Wrestling as well as Muay Thai Kickboxing.

Fighting in this range draws almost entirely from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and some wrestling. Whether with a gi or without, BJJ has been shown to be the most effective art for fighting on the ground.
