Hello there gamers,
I've never posted here before but, as far as I know, I'm a pretty good friend of Frank's and he says you guys are pretty keen, so here it goes:
I'm looking for a game system that adhere's to this bullet point list:
[*] Has a rather detailed Martial Arts style of combat.
[*] Has a flowing simple system, similar to the Three 4e's (D&D4e, SR4e, nWOD).
[*] Not too complicated, newbie friendly.
[*] Emphasises on the extreme and isn't tooooo acurate.
I'm also willing to put effort into making one, if there are no options.
Emphasis on "WOOOOOOAAAAAAA"

"Hong Kong Action Theatre" and, believe it or not, Cyberpunk 2020's "Pacific Rim Sourcebook" both fulfil your criteria with various different weightings.
The former can be typified as 'Your characters live out an OTT action movie. FIGHT!', the latter has all the detail fetishism clogging up a clean basic system that that you could ever want.
I haven't played enough "Feng Shui" or "Exalted" to comment on those games.

The rules serve the game, not vice versa.

Not Exalted, certainly. I vigorously encourage Weapons of the Gods, though you'll want to swing by http://wayofthewulin.wikispaces.com/ for quality house rules and by www.eos-press.com to get all of the support documents you'll need for it to really shine. The core book is a bad product, but the game it attempts to communicate is really brilliant, and once you find that game you'll be just thrilled.

Which is why I stipulated that. I've heard FS is no where near simple.
Who knows, maybe I'll just adapt the nWOD system.
5 Races (Auspice/Clan/Path) = Japan, China, Korea, India, America
5 Groups (Tribe/Covent/Order) = School of Kung Fu, School of Tae Kwon Do, School of Wrestling, School of Karate, School of Kendo.

A friend's been ecstatic over Weapons of the Gods, and she doesn't get excited about much. From what she says, it handles the superhuman abilities quite well.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
