By contact with WHAT? If by hand (e.g.- a 'slap" or a 'punch') yes, usually it is. In some jurisdictions this is called "Simple" Assault. HOWEVER, if something else is utilized in the striking (e.g.- ANY type of weapon - or even if you kick with a shoe) it becomes a felony assault, in some jurisdictions also known as "Assault with a Dangerous (or Deadly) Weapon."
