Punching/Medium Range—The medium range is conducive to both kicking and punching—so keep your guard up!

Trapping/Close Range

In this range, you engage with your opponent primarily with elbows, knees, upper cuts, hooks, grabs, throws, takedowns and headbutts. This is also considered a clinching range, and being able to manipulate your opponent’s body and “trap” their limbs will effectively neutralize their hitting capabilities while you remain able to hit them.

Trapping/Close Range—The claustrophobia-inspiring close range brings with it the option of clinching (or being clinched by) your opponent.

Grappling/Extremely Close Range

In this range, you are rolling on the ground attempting to gain a superior position from which to disable your opponent or cause him to submit. The transition into this range is usually initiated by the takedown. Many of the offensive tools you use in the trapping/close range are effective here with the additional offensive tools that are exclusive to the grappling arts such as the arm bar or the triangle choke.
