The motto of The Art Institute of Indianapolis is 'The College for Creative Minds'.
Ranma ½ isn't based on any one style of martial arts, but several of them, and many of them are parodied or are inaccurate. The school of martial arts that Ranma and his father, along with Akane and Soun Tendo practice, is known as the Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts, so while it incorporates numerous actual martial arts techniques, it also uses ridiculous "techniques" and fictionalized martial art styles.
Of course Martial arts was used in Charlie's Angles, but as for the specific type I am not sure. If it is like most other movies, however, it is probably a vast array of different types. Usually, because of all the different martial arts there are, when people are taught a martial art, and then learn more than one, when they reteach one or the other they combine them. But in the movies, depending on what the directors want in the scene, the type of martial art will change, because every martial art specializes in a different category! Lucy Liu personally practices the martial arts of Kali-Eskrima-Silat (knife-and-stick fighting). But the choreographed moves were a mixture of several eastern martial arts including various styles of wushu and karate.
If you like martial art action movies they are both good.

Firstly, in dealing with criminals, martial arts training for Law Enforcement officers such as the police plays an important role in subduing violent criminals without necessarily harming them, such as by the use of a martial art like JuJutsu. The officer can survive a criminal attack, and then restrain the criminal; also there are then techniques that can be used called "Come-Alongs" for safely applying a lock that enables the officer to take a criminal along to the lockup. Secondly, those youths who would otherwise grow up under the influence of gang cultures and neglecting parents and societies, in poverty and violence etc, if they are channeled into training in a martial art, they are introduced into macho world of warrior practices and discipline. The exciting training captures their minds, provides health and fitness and survival in the streets. Martial arts develop character and spirit and the courage to say "No" to criminal peers. The student learns self control, learns to control their own often stressed and powerful emotions. Martial Arts students rarely become criminals.

The Seikuuken is a martial art movement that appears on the anime show "The Mightiest Disciple", however this movement itself looks really similar with the "360 Defense" movement. The 360 Defense is a technique that comes from the martial art Krav Maga. The Martial art by itself is a deadly Martial Art, and it is from Slovakia. However, the Martial art is more famous in Israel.
