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 devoted to studying 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.

Melee-enhancing Magic Styles

 * Dragon Slayer Magic provides its users with many melee techniques that utilizes the user's respective element.


 * Fire Dragon Slayer Magic users can generate fire from any part of their body. In addition, the flames can be given a material consistency. As a kind of Magic emphasizing brute strength, many of the spells granted by this magic are melee strikes enhanced by such fire, which seems to have a “blunt” effect to it, apparently causing bludgeoning damage alongside burnings.


 * Urumi employs retractable flat cables which can be used to assault foes in combat.

Melee combat can be performed both unarmed, with users assaulting foes with punches, kicks and other moves, and armed, with users wielding weapons of various kinds, and is thus divided in two main classifications: Hand to Hand Combat and Armed Combat.
