In truth, melee seems more like an "entrevero/briga/disputa", wich can be hand-to-hand, or otherwise. A fight, and it means a certain ado/confusion involved.

Same goes with scuffle.

corpo a corpo (be context-wise here): could be a weaponless combat where one would use wrestling and boxing fight.

So "hand-to-hand (combat)" or "physical combat" would fit.

Let´s see if others will agree. cyaz.
