I always thought the rise of MMA had something to do with the decline of fight-scenes. There's not a whole lot of spinning jump kicks and stuff when you put two people in a cage to fight. I don't know how that might relate to Wuxia (and Wuxia-inspired) fight scenes though that don't even attempt to look realistic. Certainly, as TFA states, the overreliance of Marvel movies on CGI for action shots (and their financial success while doing so) probably played a big part. I'll end with a link to one of my all-time favorite choreographed fight scenes (Though the fight between Donnie Yen and Wu Jing in Kill Zone is up there too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BVZl_sn-gg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BVZl_sn-gg
