Characters with this Ability

Master Hand To Hand Combatant

• Alternate Michael - The strongest of the angels, with millennia worth of fighting experience. He is tremendously accomplished in martial arts. During his fight with Lucifer, Michael was able to soundly defeat him, easily deflecting his blows and quickly restraining him. He also easily dodged Gabriel's blade strikes without bothering to use his own sword before he swiftly disarmed Gabriel of his blade, twisting his arm and stunning him in the face before using his blade to kill him. At one point, he was able to trounce the Alternate Kaia using her spear unarmed with ease, only being wounded upon being caught off-guard.

• Lucifer - Being the second strongest and oldest of the Angels, with intensive combat training and millennium worth of combat experience, Lucifer is an extremely accomplished hand-to-hand combatant. He effortlessly slaughtered dozens of Pagans and easily reacted to Gabriel trying to stab him and disarmed and took control of his blade to seemingly kill him. Repeatedly, Lucifer was able to overpower Dean and Sam effortlessly, beating both of them to a bloody pulp and at one point instantly disarming Dean of his gun and beating him to submission within seconds. At one point, he was able to easily overwhelm Sam, Dean and Castiel simultaneously while in his Cage, also disarming Castiel. In all of his altercations with Castiel, Lucifer proves to be the superior fighter, as shown by how he effortlessly overpowered Castiel while he was weakened due to his vessel deteriorating and even with his grace being low, he was able to force Castiel to retreat and wound him enough to make him pass out later on. He even briefly held his ground against the far stronger Alternate Michael before the latter overpowered him. In their final battle, despite Dean's power boost from Michael who Dean was acting as a vessel to, with his super-charged state dramatically increasing his physical powers too, Lucifer was able to easily disarm him of his blade and go toe-to-toe with and eventually overpower Dean in their mid-air fist fight, hitting Dean as much as Dean hit him and kicking him aside before easily intercepting his charge and finally pummeling him.

• Cain - The Father of Murder and the trainer of the Knights of Hell, Cain was a highly skilled martial artist. He was able to overpower and slaughter a battalion of demons with little effort. He was able to casually fight Dean when most of his powers were suppressed and retain the upper hand despite Dean wielding the First Blade, although it should be noted that Dean was not using the powers of the Mark due to not giving into it, in the end only losing after being caught off-guard.

• Castiel - He is an excellent hand to hand combatant. This skill has only improved over the course of the series, partly due to his time spent with the Winchesters who are formidable combatants themselves and his brief time spent as a Hunter-in-training. His skills are shown in his fights against other inhuman beings, as he is able to disarm many beings with Angelic weaponry and then use that weapon to kill them. He has proven capable of fighting his lesser angelic brethren with ease. This skill remained with him as he became a fallen Seraph or even human, as he managed to kill an angel in a broken bus without his powers, although the angel was caught off guard at the discovery that Castiel was now human. Castiel even held off two Leviathans with only his fists.

• Virgil - Even without his powers, Virgil proved to be highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat, able to battle both Sam and Dean in a fist fight and overwhelm them one-on-one.

• Angels - Due to their millennia of experience, many of the angels were accomplished fighter expert hand-to-hand combatant capable of tossing aside monsters, humans and other threats with great ease.

• Grigori - Being the first watcher angel squad, they are very accomplished in fighting. One of them, Tamiel was able to successfully outclass Sam and Dean Winchester, despite Dean possessing the Mark of Cain, as well as Castiel all at once without much effort, only being killed upon being caught off-guard.

• Ramiel - Due to his millennia of experience, Ramiel was an exceptional fighter, easily defeating the Seraph Castiel and quickly separating Dean, Sam and Mary when he fought them all at once, soundly knocking back Sam and Mary and fairly quickly overpowering Dean and would have killed him had Sam not interfered. It was only due to Mary briefly distracting him with a stab to the back with an Angel Blade that Sam was able to gain control over the Lance of Michael and kill him.

• Asmodeus - Due to his millennia of experience, Asmodeus was an accomplished fighter capable of easily delivering a serious beating to the former British Men of Letters specialist Arthur Ketch.

• Dagon - Due to her millenia of experience, Dagon was an exceptional fighter, easily trouncing the Seraphim Castiel in a fist fight.

• Dean Winchester - He was trained by his father as a child in the arts of being a Hunter. He is highly accomplished in hand-to-hand combat; he has subdued several human assailants with ease in multiple episodes and bested physically more powerful creatures, often unarmed or equipped with only a blade. Dean is superior to his younger brother Sam and while he gets overpowered by Sam at times, it was only due to Sam having an advantage due to his emotions clouding him and whenever he is fighting Sam at full fighting capability, he always beats him despite him being stronger. Dean once slaughtered a nest of vampires on his own, his grandfather Samuel Campbell was greatly impressed and remarked on his skill. Due to his year-long stay in Purgatory and the realm's animal-like survival of the fittest environment, Dean greatly honed his hunting skills and instincts. Even when up against three demons, Dean was able to take them down single-handedly using only his hand-to-hand experience and the demon killing knife, something which impressed the powerful demon, and his ancestor, Cain greatly. In addition, with the Mark of Cain granting him the strength needed to fight Angels, Dean was able to take on the Grigori Tamiel and land several blows before being overpowered and easily defeat Castiel despite his own fighting ability, although it should be noted Castiel held back as he was not trying to harm Dean. He could briefly fight against Cain and land some blows before he was ultimately overpowered. His skills also allowed him to overpower highly trained and accomplished military fighters such as Cole Trenton and Bernard and at one point, despite his knee being injured and being disoriented, Dean was able to defeat Arthur Ketch, an excellent fighter who was considered a specialist among the British Men of Letters. More displays of his incredible fighting abilities was when he was able to stay in combat for a time with the Prince of Hell Ramiel while Sam and Mary was easily overpowered, managing to land 2 blows, and also overpower the significiantly stronger Magog with his superior fighting skill, eventually managing to gain Magog's blade and use it to kill him. While Dean was ultimately an inferior fighter to Lucifer, as proven by how Lucifer disarmed and ultimately pummeled Dean, it should be noted he had been able to go toe-to-toe with him despite Lucifer's far greater fighting experience and power for a reasonable length of time.

• Sam Winchester - Trained in the arts of hunting by his father, Sam is a very capable combatant. As a boy, Sam's skills enabled him to defeat a bully twice his size easily, landing solid blows that quickly knocked down the bully and avoiding each one of his. As Sam gave up hunting to attend college, his skills were rusty in comparison to his older brother Dean. As Sam got back into hunting, he quickly gotten back in shape. Although he is still not as skilled as Dean, with his superior physical strength backing him up, he can fight back Dean for a reasonable amount of time and at times Dean's emotions clouded his fighting, he is even able to overpower his brother, although when Dean no longer is weaker than Sam due to the Mark, he proves to be the decisively superior fighter as he quickly trounced Sam, although it should be noted Sam did land a few blows and even if with difficulty managed to parry some of Dean's blows. He could easily beat many humans, as shown when he disarmed and fought off a S.W.A.T officer before getting arrested, defeated Gordon Walker (who had just previously defeated and captured Dean) after the latter briefly had the upper hand in the fight, effortlessly beat Deputy Sheriff Atkins to a pulp, fought off fellow hunters Tim Janklow and Reggie Hull simultaneously, and took on two secret service agents simultaneously without taking a single blow before ultimately being held at gunpoint. He has been seen to be capable of standing his ground against and defeating supernatural creatures much stronger than him, as shown when fought and briefly subdued the much stronger Jake Talley despite his shoulder being injured by the latter, fought and killed a djinn with only a golf club, managing to knock it over and beat its brains in, held his own against Lucifer in Limbo alongside Dean and Castiel, punching him once and grabbing him from behind, stopped Ramiel's attempt to stab Dean with the Lance of Michael and managed to hold him off in a struggle over the Lance of Michael as well as elbow him in the face once, holding him off long enough for Mary to stab him from the back and allow him to gain control over the Lance and kill him with it, fought and killed an Apocalypse World angel whilst rescuing Charlie Bradbury and Arthur Ketch, and took on a group of Asmodeus' demons, who were, (as demons) much stronger than he is on two different occasions, once alongside Dean and another time alongside Castiel, killing a demon both times.

• Luther Shrike - Luther is a very capable fighter, as he was able to defeat the master hand-to-hand combatant Sam Winchester.

• John Winchester - John, having been trained in the military arts, is an excellent fighter, with his skills and knowledge in martial arts allowing him to successfully train Sam and Dean into one of the best martial artists in history.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant

• Arthur Ketch - Having spent several years in training with the British Men of Letters and was known as a specialist, Arthur Ketch is an excellent fighter. Arthur was able to casually slaughter the agents of Site 94 and emerge without a scratch whereas Sam and Dean struggled with them, although it should be noted that Sam and Dean were not trying to kill them and thus was holding back while Ketch had no such reservations and fought with full capability. It is suggested he took to training Mary Winchester and helping her further sharpen her skill in hunting. Arthur was able to briefly overpower Dean and go toe-to-toe with him when he was injured and disoriented, but was eventually defeated. After his resurrection, he killed several of Asmodeus' demons while saving the Winchesters but this caused Dean to realize his identity as he had a particularly unique way of fighting.

• Mary Winchester - She was trained in the arts of hunting by her family, who come from a long line of hunters. She is very capable in handling a case involving werewolf on her own and not have a scratch on her. During her time with the British Men of Letters, Mary gained more skill in fighting even helping taking down many vampires. She was very capable of taking down angels in Apocalypse world by herself.

• Gordon Walker - Spending years hunting vampires, Gordon was a very proficient combatant, highly accomplished in both hand-to-hand combat and the use of melee weapons. His skills were great enough to be capable of individually matching both Sam and Dean in a fight; beating Dean once before capturing him, as well as disarming and briefly overpowering Sam before ultimately getting knocked out by the latter. While a vampire, Gordon proved himself capable of easily defeating Sam and Dean.

• Cole Trenton - Having rigorously trained himself to be able to kill Dean Winchester and also having received military training, Cole is an excellent fighter, having mastered as many martial arts as he could, including Kung Fu. His skills are shown to be able to go toe-to-toe with Dean even armed by the Mark for an extended period of time, landing solid blows and blocking much of Dean's blows before being ultimately overpowered, albeit granted Dean was holding back as he had no intentions to harm him severely or kill him.

• Bernard - Trained in the military arts, he is shown to be a very skilled martial artist, capable of matching Dean Winchester, even landing a few solid blows on and briefly restraining the proficient hunter before he was knocked out, giving Dean enough of a fight to leave him bruised and battered.

• Lily Sunder - Spending a century bent on obtaining revenge, she is an expert in many arts, being able to quickly defeat angelic soldier Benjamin.
