Melee Combat is a fighting style adopted by several characters in the Fairy Tail series.

Description
Melee combat is a fighting style which, as the name itself suggests, revolves around close-range confrontation, with users assaulting opponents physically. Widespread around Fiore, this form of combat can be employed by normal people and Mages alike. While the latter ones were described by the Vanish Brothers as lacking the ability to fight at close range due to their time being devolved to study Magic, some Mages are in fact shown to be fearsome melee fighters, even specializing in such form of combat. Magic itself can be a valuable asset when engaging foes in close quarters, with many forms of Magic being focused around melee combat.
 * Dragon Slayer Magic provides its users with many moves thought for melee.
 * Titan enlarges the users' body, making their strikes stronger and granting them a larger striking range.
 * Ice-Make can be employed to craft melee weapons, or to freeze foes at close range.
 * Requip allows its users to store away and equip at will weapons and armors for battle.
 * Sword Magic grants users a range of empowered melee attacks when employing swords.
 * Urumi employs retractable flat cables which can be used to assault foes in combat.
 * Take Over can transform the users' bodies into that of creatures fit for melee combat.
 * Regulus can greatly boost the power of unarmed attacks.
 * Lightning Magic can greatly increase the speed at which users move around, at the same time granting the unarmed blows they land in melee more force.
 * Slowing Magic can significantly reduce enemies' speed, allowing the user to strike them in melee undisturbed.
 * Iron Dog can turn the users' arms into metallic beings, enhancing their punching power.
 * Muscle Speak can enhance the strength of the users' allies, making them more suited for close-range confrontations.
 * Pufferfish Magic can cover the users' bodies in spikes, making them deadlier at close range, as well as enlarge them in a similar way to Titan, though on a smaller scale.
 * Palm Magic focuses the users' Magic Power in the palms of their hands, making their unarmed blows way more damaging.

Melee combat can be performed both unarmed, with users assaulting foes through the use of punches, kicks and other moves, and armed, with users employing a variety of weapons.
