In terms of Zanjutsu, I find that Hakuda and Zanjutsu share huge similarities when discussed at this level. A Zanjutsu Master slashing through the hypnosis of Aizen's Kyouka Suigetsu can also be a Hakuda Master smashing apart an illusion.

Tàiyángwǔ is essentially similar to what you meant by rooting themselves against time-altering spells, except in the case of Tàiyángwǔ, it provides a resistance to heat itself. I think the basic idea of creating techniques meant to reflect concept demand that we look upon a style and essentially take the philosophical idea of the martial art, and materialize it. For instance, Bruce Lee said "Be as water", so a (Grand)Master could take that further and literally move as water does; their joints and bone structure can be momentarily ignored as they move as water itself literally does.
