Writing fighting sound effects

I need help writing fighting scenes. The scenes itself aren't the problem but the sfx that comes with the scene is the problem.

For example :

A fist punch to the face, body.
A kick to the face, body.
Unsheathed a sword.
A sword trust
A sword swipe/slash
The difference between sword sound and spear sound (or other weapon)
Deflecting an attack with your hand, your sword.
Receiving a blow from a fist or a weapon.
Etc

Anyone can help me with writing the sound effect for fight scene?

 

~Hong!~

 

I just don't write sfx. They're a pain too and honestly I think they read awkwardly no matter what. I just describe it like, the sound of metal clashing against metal, or whatever.

stuff I have found useful in my writing.

KA-BOOM!

 

Pew pew pew pew

 

I will never read your story due to the use of "KA-BOOM!"

 

Sword unsheath/sheath or slash: Shing~
A slapping sound/skin on skin contact: Pa~ or Pa
Stabbing: Shplitch~
Metal on metal impact: Clang~!
Rapid blows: BABABABABABA... or DADADADADA...
Speedy slash: Just describe it as a whistle while using 'whoosh' as a sound effect
Generally good ones that work with anything: bang, boom, whoosh

You don't really need a lot of sound effects. Being able to describe the impact/movements with short, concise sentences usually works better.

Example:

"Coward! Why don't you-"

Whoosh!

With a sharp whistle and a gentle wind, the swordsman's blade suddenly appeared in front of the noble's face.

•••

Whoosh!

The two men disappeared, leaving the ground where they were standing in a destroyed state. As their speed approached the speed of sound, only afterimages and the sound of their clashes could be perceived.

BOOM!

The onlookers covered their ears as the fighters shattered the sound barrier.

 

How about "BAM", "POW', and "KERSPLAT"?

 

Sounds I sometimes use:
*thug*
*thud*
*crash*
*swoosh*
*hong*
*tang*
*clang*
*boom*
*swish*
*bang*
*shing*
*dring*
*ring*
*bzzt*

 

I would say that use of sound effects is more appropriate for comics then novels.

 

lol.

KA-BOOM! not included in story yet . . but now I will, just for you.

Other sound effects to include: KA-SWOOSH! KA-BLAMO! KA-DOIN-DOIN! KA-JAPALAPAMARENGO! KA-SPLOOSH!

 

For a fist punch you want more of a pow pow, not a thump thump, but something with more ping ping. You know what I mean?

An unsheathed sword depends on the material. If it's a metal sheath it's more of a shring shring than a clank clank or a ring ring. If it's leather it makes more of a scrrrr scrrr sound with a little ping, bang and pow.

Got it?

 

Ba dumm tssss~~
When something happen as planned

 

Random thug appears
"did you summon me?"

 

Just don't.

 

"Palapalapa.....
*papapapapapap......

When unleashing numerous palm attacks

 

Or using your palm for other things.....

 

Rather than using sfx, consider let the reader make the sfx in their mind by describing the action in detail.
Example : "As the two swordsmen began to speed up their respective movements, the sounds of clashing metal echoed throughout the cave"
