Is it 40 instead of 180 to get clear hits?
What shutter angle do they use in kung fu films?

Not necessarily. "Clear" hits may or may not look good in your shot - too clear and it can be seen as fake. Too blurry and the whole thing can be too hard to follow.
A high shutter speed can give your footage a choppy look - like the battle sequences in Saving Private Ryan. Now, that can be exciting, or it can look inappropriate for the scene. Often, not always - but often, fast shutter speed stuff looks better on outdoor action sequences than it does on indoor sequences.
"Clear" hits are achieved by good actors reacting in precisely the right manner - and good, perfectly timed sound effects.
Start with a standard 180 degree shutter angle and see how you like your look. Then do the same sequence with a faster shutter speed and see if you like the look any more or any less. Simple and fast.
Don't forget that a faster shutter speed will require more light to get the same exposure.
And post your results!

Yes, of that I am aware of, only problem is that plan is to use 4K, but there is not 22fps available there.
