Don't choreograph them.

In movies, directors and choreographers will do that.

In novels, let your reader's imagination do that.
They fought. It was weird and clumsy. It was more painful to watch than participate in.
Only add essential details that bring about the climax of the fight. Don't try to transcribe the visual in your head. That just adds pages of tedious details. It makes for laborious reading in a scene that should be packed with energy.
