Do you mean in the Rifts Universe or in the Heroes Universe?
In Rifts there are a few classes that have access to mystic martial arts in China2. In HU there all sorts of Martial Styles in Ninjas & SuperSpies.

The SDC versions come from Ninja's and superspys and Mystic China (Not rifts china, two different books). and OCC's don't get them--martial arts styles give them, among other choices, and you only get a handful.

NS has the right of it.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

That would be a Mage that was a Dedicated Martial artist who change to to being a mage char.

And even then, a dedicated martial artist can't get all of them.

Well it's possible for one to get all Body Hardening exercises, if you include the Martial Arts from Mystic China and have the Chao Ta Kung Fu style as one of the styles as it's heavy access to the Body Hardening Styles. I'm not sure it's possible except for a fairly high level DMA to have all Body Hardening and all Zenjoriki, and there aren't many MA that give you even a chance at having all 4 even by 15th level (although ironically the Worldly Martial Artist might get there faster with their access to bonus techniques as they level).
Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.
The Shikome Kido-Mi Dragon in Rifts Japan knows all of the Mystic Martial Arts powers. He can't use them himself but he teaches them to his minions - usually he doesn't teach more than three to one person but exceptions can be made. If you want a character to know them all, he is your best bet.

Just make a Marital artist that has access to chi powers (See the N&S book) and take the body chi power/skill.
Otherwise the Kezel (in the rifters somewhere in the 50's) are close to what you are describing.
