Why not translate only fight scenes?

Looks like we always talk about martial skills in wuxia novels. How about someone translating only the fight scenes in each of the JY novels? Shouldn't be that many, no?

People don't just want fighting scenes. It's the personality of the characters who are fighting that makes it interesting. And why are they fighting. These details are important to the story and they're what makes the fighting good. I don't think just translating the fighting parts would be a good idea.
