Escrime. Au 16e siècle, la dague au poing gauche était l'arme du combat de près. Aujourd'hui le corps à corps, toléré par les arbitres au fleuret, reste autorisé à l'épée s'il est exécuté sans brutalité ni violence. 5, record 1, French, - corps%2D%C3%A0%2Dcorps
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Ne pas confondre avec l'«accrochage» dans lequel un combattant retient l'autre illégalement. Dans le «corps-à-corps», les deux boxeurs se donnent des coups l'un l'autre tout en étant poitrine contre poitrine; les deux escrimeurs combattent à une distance de bras l'un de l'autre. 6, record 1, French, - corps%2D%C3%A0%2Dcorps
