Mock combat involves the execution of combative actions without intent to harm. Participants can engage in such sparring for ritual, training,[1] recreational or performance reasons. The nature of mock combat can vary from realistic to symbolic. Mock combat can be classified into choreographed and unchoreographed forms.
