PVP is when you fight another player in game. I will give you as in depth of a guide as I can but the only way to get REALLY good at PVP is playing the game.
Before PVP make sure you have all the gear necessary.
I usually like to have a sword, an axe, a lava bucket, some potions, (See the section on brewing.)
a water bucket, a bow, good armor, some golden apples, some blocks, and a shield.
First of I would like to establish the difference between fighting with an axe and fighting with a sword.
Axes do more damage but cannot be swung as fast.
If you are going back and forth just trading hits and not hitting each other over and over again very quickly, use an axe as it does more damage. If you are up close swing very fast use your sword. It is also smart to jump before you swing with an axe to perform what is known as a critical hit.
When using a sword try to circle around behind your opponent, keep strafing side to side so they cant hit you and you can keep hitting them.
To use the lava bucket light place the lava at your opponents feet and immediately pick it up so you can use it again. Make sure to attack your opponent immediately with your sword after you light them on fire so that they don't have time to put themselves out with water. You can do the same thing with flint and steel BTW so if lava is not available craft flint and steel. If you get caught on fire. Keep your opponent back with your bow and put yourself out with water.
Before you go into a fight eat a golden apple or drink some potions (See the section on brewing.)
A golden apple can be crafted using an apple and gold ingots with this recipe.

They can also be found in chests.
This special apple will give you two extra hearts and the regeneration effect to make the battle much easier.
Quick tip, don't shoot all your arrows in the beginning of the fight. Save about half in case you need to finish of a fleeing opponent or keep them away from you while you regain health.
When shooting at an opponent make sure to shoot where they are going to be not where they currently are, and make sure to aim your crosshairs above your opponent to make sure the arrow doesn't drop early. If they are available tipped arrows are much more effective.
A substitute for a bow is a crossbow which can be kept drawn back in ones hotbar.
You can quickly switch to it, fire it and then go back to your sword. You can draw it back again when you have the chance.
If you are low and being chased jump and place water beneath your feet while you run.
This will slow down your pursuer long enough for you to turn around and do lots of damage with a bow or crossbow. If you don't have a ranged weapon you can also use this as an opportunity to get away. If you think you are going into a losing fight it might also be smart to bring a couple ender pearls. Which are items that allow you to teleport to where you throw them. They can be difficult to get because you must kill enderman to get them but it may be well worth the investment.
be aware, as pearls cause you to lose up to two hearts when teleporting so don't use one if you are below two hearts, if you must use one use it when you are at half health. Another method for getting away is to place blocks beneath your feet to go faster but beware because the person following you can jump on the blocks you place.
