Yay, unsolicited advice time! Or, not really advice, more like miscellaneous tips and tricks, because if there's one thing eight years of martial arts has equipped me to write, it's fight scenes.
.
Fun things to add to a fight scene (hand to hand edition)
It's not uncommon for two people to kick at the same time and smack their shins together, or for one person to block a kick with their shin. This is called a shin lock and it HURTS like a BITCH. You can be limping for the rest of the fight if you do it hard enough.
If your character is mean and short, they can block kicks with the tip of their elbow, which hurts the other guy a lot more and them a lot less
Headbutts are a quick way to give yourself a concussion
If a character has had many concussions, they will be easier to knock out. This is called glass jaw.
Bad places to get hit that aren't the groin: solar plexus, liver, back of the head, side of the thigh (a lot of leg kicks aim for this because if it connects, your opponent will be limping)
Give your character a fighting style. It helps establish their personality and physicality. Are they a grappler? Do they prefer kicks or fighting up close? How well trained are they?
Your scalp bleeds a lot and this can get in your eyes, blinding you
If you get hit in the nose, your eyes water
Adrenaline's a hell of a drug. Most of the time, you're not going to know how badly you've been hurt until after the fact
Even with good technique, it's really easy to break toes and fingers
Blocking hurts, dodging doesn't
.
Just thought these might be useful! If you want a more comprehensive guide or a weapons edition, feel free to ask. If you want, write how your characters fight in the comments!
Have a bitchin day <3

Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender might like this one.
This is a proof of concept earthbender fight scene. It just goes to show what great fight choreography and a few special effects can do.
The actress is Diana Tsoy.

I can't watch this scene with the same eyes now that I know that they were meant for each other in an alternate universe. Also that's probably the only moment in the entire movie we see Feyd with so many expressions written on his face- vulnerability, hesitation, confusion, longing. Makes me wonder if he really was going to go for the final strike. Imagine that just for a fraction of a second Feyd felt this destined connection between them...

how is this fight scene crucial to the plot?
how does it reinforce the characters' beliefs?
what are the stakes?
keep the action moving
keep sentences short and punchy
how does this impact the characters mentally?
remove unnecessary sentences
what mistakes reflect the character?
how do their flaws impact the fight?
what is the goal of the fight?
what started it?
would the plot be the same without the fight? in that case, you may not need it.
mix dialogue and action
read fight scenes—Macbeth, the princess bride, Percy Jackson
watch fight scenes and rewrite them in your own words
how does the setting affect the tone and mood?
avoid blow-by-blow
research the weapons and techniques used for accuracy
what are the characters thinking?
show the aftermath.

If you know me, you know I’m a fan of “covert” fight scenes. Scenes where two people are fighting but they’re both pretending that something else is going on. This one from Dreadnaught (1981) is one of the best.
By the way, the guy that choreographed this scene, later went on to choreograph The Matrix films, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill.
