I honestly never would have expected to see a thread titled this. Cowboy Bebop's great, isn't it? Waltz For Venus has got to be one of my favourites.
I have a friend who does kung fu, and when I visted him we practiced some techniques together, him kung fu and me aikido. I was shocked at the amount of similarities his art had to aikido, especially the chin nas (sp?). There was even a movement nearly identical to ikkyo.
You could probably trace the history of the softer arts of Japan to China, and find some sort of common history between them. In any case, if it's found that a movement works, then you're probably going to see different variations of it in different martial arts, right?
