ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Combat

Combat is when two or more people or groups try to hurt or stop each other by using weapons or fighting moves. It's like playing a game where you have to try to touch the other person without getting touched yourself.

When people are in combat, they wear special clothes called armor to protect themselves. It's like wearing a shield that helps protect your body from getting hurt.

Sometimes people use their fists, which are like their hands with the fingers curled up into a punching shape, to hit the other person. Other times they use weapons like swords, which are long sharp objects that are meant to cut the other person.

When people are in combat, they have to be careful to not hurt themselves or other people too badly. That's why they usually stop when someone falls down or says they give up.

Combat can be scary and dangerous, so it's important to only do it if you really have to, and to always be safe and careful.
