Agreed. I think the key to a
GURPS Martial Arts Powers system would be figuring out what set it apart from those other systems, something akin to the "How Psionics Work" section, a unified set of assumptions everything is built around that's clearly spelled out. Things like uncontested skill use always succeeds, letting you fly from roof to roof without and rolls or concern, or ways to gather energy on the fly instead of tapping into internal reserves, that sort of thing.
