Probably for the same reason that most New World inhabitants can't, simply because he hasn't spent enough years training his body and mind in that direction. It would be basically the same reason he doesn't yet seem able to cast many simple utility spells that have been invented in the New World.

It is possible that, as a Yggdrasil player, it's simply not possible for him to learn such skills, but Ainz confirmed that he could use [Wish on a Star] to give himself a talent, so it seems likely that he could also give himself the ability to use martial arts or use utility spells, but it's simply not worth the XP cost of using [Wish on a Star].
