Struggles; brawls (6)
I believe the answer is:
fights
This clue is a double definition.
'struggles' is the first definition.
(fight is a kind of struggle)
'brawls' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for fights that I've seen before include "Brawls" , "Scraps" , "Verbal or physical disputes" , "Conflicts" , "'Combats, battles (6)'" .)
