The concept of "attacking" is a vary broad one, with a lot of nuance to it.
What are the most common/practical words used to describe attacking in
Japanese; and what are the nuances to each?

Also, I'm specifically talking about physical attacks; like cutting, stabbing,
clawing, punching, smashing, striking, impaling, etc. Not things like fraud,
or taunting, or other things that be considered a form of attacking. in some
other sense of the word.
