Self-explanatory. Series who's primary focus is fighting would fit into this segment. Yu Yu Hakusho and Ranma 1/2 are classified as fighting series. But if you can, then please select a more specific keyword instead, such as "Gun-Action" or "Swordplay"; maybe some day we'll completely split up this category into some more terms of this sort.
A story which uses incorporates a competitive event as a primary component of the story line, but which is not of a martial-arts or violent nature. While both being cooking based series, Yakitate!! Japan and Chuuka Ichiban are good examples of this genre.

She has gotten involved in the back-alley street-fighting scene, and they are now calling her the undefeated airmaster'. At a new high school, she finds new friends brave enough to support her as she meets new combatants, as she struggles to refind that spark of inspiration that drove her to her first success as a gymnast.

In the Kanto Plain of Japan, high schools in the area are little more than fronts for what appear to be nothing more than gangs who all wear a strange earring. Within these schools, students fight to be the top-rated fighters in order to represent their school at the very unofficial Great Fighter's Tournament. However, what appears to be nothing more than thugs fighting street battles is in reality ancient Chinese history coming back to replay itself in modern times with students having names of various warriors from that time. |

 Kakutou Bijin Wulong |
Looking like any high school student, Mao Ran appears to be just a cute and normal young lady, but one with a fiery temper. She is also happens to be the heir to the Mao family tradition and is a master of the Mao style of unarmed martial arts. While Ran is reluctant to show her skills and avoids getting involved in any formal or competitive fights, her grandfather manages to succeed in tricking her into participating in a boxing-ring-style martial arts event called the ‘Prime Mat’. The challenge of fighting against strong rivals pushes her skills to the limit, and her initial reluctance gradually gives way to thrill and excitement as she looks forward to her next competitor. |

 Konjiki no Gash Bell!! |
Bored by both his fellow students and the lack of challenges at school, the middle-schooler Kiyomaro Takamine has become very sullen and withdrawn, not that his frequently cutting class is really affecting his grades. Takamine appears destined for a dark and troubling future, at least until his father sends a strange young boy his way. The sudden arrival of Gash’s throws Takamine’s life into chaos! He surprised to learn that by holding Gash's magical red book, he can prompt Gash to spout bolts of lighting - which destroy anything in their path (including bedroom walls!) But Gash is just one of a hundred contenders who have quietly sent from a Demon-world to Takamine’s world to seek out a partnership with a human book-keeper - in a battle of elimination against the other deamons to determine who the next ruler of the Demon-world will be! |
