    • Write in shorter sentences. Shorter sentences are easier to digest. ...
    • Mix action with dialogue. Don't just write long descriptions of what's happening. ...
    • Don't focus too much on what's going on inside the character's mind. Introspection happens before and after a fight, not during.
    • Keep the fight short.

    But, beyond that, make sure the actions are also true to the character. Now and then it's also ok to hook your reader with a big surprise or something unexpected in the fight scene as well. But, depending on the type of fight you're describing, also remember people get hurt, and the aftermath of the fight should show that.  Unlike the movies, heroes don't get into long, drawn out, knock down, 45 minute fist fights and come out the other side without so much as a wrinkled shirt.  Fights are short and brutal affairs, and if it's a fist fight (for example) those typically end on the ground with the combatants wresting and getting a punch in when and where they can.
