I just watched a black and white clip of two Chinese gong fu masters sparring (along time ago) and it was terrible.

The '86 Chengdu San da clip makes up for it.

San da (as a style) and shuajiao are pretty much combat sports, like muay thai and wrestling/judo. It'd be nice to see some shaolin in a real fight (the exhibition was interesting).

Alan Orr blasts his opponent back with chain punches in the MMA video. Good on him for making wingchun work.
