Fight - a collision of two or more people without weapons [1] , or using cold steel ( knives , axes ), or objects used as weapons (stones, pieces of reinforcement, sharpening , trimming pipes, brass knuckles , etc.), with causing beatings and (or) harm to health of varying severity.
Most often, a fight is a negative social phenomenon. The appearance of fights is due to difficult to resolve conflicts , hooligan motives and poorly understood aggression , which must be thrown out somewhere. In educational institutions, the fight is regarded as a violation of discipline , in the troops - as a manifestation of hazing .
From the point of view of law, a fight is an unlawful behavior , assessed as an administrative offense ( hooliganism ) or as a crime of varying severity depending on the consequences (beatings, minor, moderate, serious injuries, reckless death , murder ). Investigation of crimes committed in a fight is complicated by the fact that it is difficult to establish who specifically inflicted those or other blows, caused one or another damage.

History
Fighting as an element of social relations has a long tradition in the culture of various peoples, including those that lived on the territory of modern Russia , Ukraine . Fights took place usually in villages on holidays, in winter most often on ice. First, shooters, boys, were brought forward. More adult groups were grouped behind them, but the main batch of opponents, especially fighters famous for their strength and art, remained in reserve.
There were many types of fistfights, and the rules varied greatly. There were both individual fights and wall-to-wall fights. In a wall fight it was forbidden to hit on the head, especially in the face and lying. In some cases, the rivals had to be in mittens and it was forbidden to put heavy objects in them.
