Problem of an acutal crossover is of course the "main" era of Western fantasy is set in a pseudo-medieval Europe, and a lot of Wuxia is set in years before that.

maybe you should try it out, crossing over traditions and fighting styles if it's a wuxia/medevil thing, that'll be cool, it'll be crazy, but ppl will argue that that historically never happened, so work on it, make it sound real so ppl won't argue back.
