If you really need to see a man take on a tank in hand to hand combat look no further than Fist of the North Star: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_ZeD40Rg8A
Despite the problems with the Japanese airing of Cowboy Bebop it was still successful on home video over there, despite what’s often stated online.
As Anthony suggests they did bring on a guy to do the fight scene with the poncho in the first episode of Cowboy Bebop. I believe it was legendary action animator Yuktaka Nakamura who is credited with key animation for the episode.
