Which of the following is NOT a range used in basic combatives?

Basic combatives organize engagement into three common zones: long range for keeping distance with kicks and longer punches, mid range for more compact strikes and entries, and close or clinch for control and grappling. A distance labeled far range isn’t a formal category in this system; it sits beyond long range and isn’t treated as a separate, practical range in the training. So it’s not used as a standard range. The other three—long range, mid range, and close/clinch—are the recognized zones you train to operate within.
