JKD
I'm a purist, myself. I look at JKD as a philosophy and that is the context in which I listed it. A way of taking the various styles, techniques, and other aspects of fighting that I have learned over the years and making it my own.

I maintain a very "high-level" or abstract view on fighting, most of which is developed from reading Bruce's books and what I learned in my own study of Aikido with regard to blending with your opponent. I've dabbled in many other arts over the years in an attempt to "absorb what is useful", but think we're on the same page as I have taken a few JKD seminars and ended up disappointed almost every time.

Hope this helps you understand.
