Why do most western fights (e.g. wrestling, swordplay) seem like 2 bodies smooshing into eachother while eastern fighting (e.g. martial arts, fist fights) look compartmentalized and light?

Bit generalised. But asian martial arts like karate and whatnot are basically dancing combined with fighting. It’s a form of art that is spiritual or serves another purpose besides simply fighting.
Western arts for the most part (things like fencing are a bit more refined) don’t have that. They are all about defeating the opponent
