Since the entire "Different branches" thing is in and of itself fanon that's not exactly a strong hint.
The Tendo Dojo sign shown at the start of the series, for instance, simply declares it's the Tendo Family dojo and they practice "Anything Goes."
I'm fairly sure you're recalling wrong because Akane's general reaction to Ranma's ability is being impressed and having general(at the beginning slightly grudging) respect.

Ranma nearly always defaults to a very mixed, blended style. Akane nearly always defaults to a much more direct offensive "hard" style. This is shown in both manga and anime, if it wasn't intentional, it sure spent a lot of effort making it look like it.
That's why it would be extremely strange if both of them are supposed to be using the exact same art.

The former is not surprising, they have limited space to do that ans similar day schedules.
The latter is... The only Instance I do remember is of smug Ranma sitting on the back of a flailing Akane.

All techniques are in Anything Goes. It says so on the label.
"Anything Goes" is a loose, comedy focused translation of "Musabetsu Kakutō" which more directly translated as "Indiscriminate Grappling." Which does not have the quite the same connotations as "Anything Goes." So no, no it is not "all techniques"
