Just my observations:
1. PFS uses a lot of limb destructions (same timing as lin sil die dar in OJKD) and uses the stop hit same as JKD
2. the stance that Paul Vunak teaches looks more like Thai Boxing to me as opposed to the OJKD Bai Jong which is a little more sideward (like a fencing stance mixed with a boxing stance) and occupies centre line.
3. PFS punching seems to be more boxing oriented while OJKD is a blend of boxing, fencing and wing chun (non-telegraphic vertical fist lead as opposed to standard boxing jab, etc.)
4. PFS's RAT is the central theme while OJKD does not necessarily intercept, destroy and clinch. There is a lot more emphasis on ending a fight in middle and long range in OJKD (and leading) as opposed to always looking close doing HKE's
5. OJKD is weak on the ground (very little ground fighting offensively and practically none defensively) while PFS seems to have incorporated a large amount of BJJ
6. OJKD has no *formalized weapon work (*although Bruce Lee has been reported to have knowledge in the realm of weapons it is not something he taught so while it may be part of his JKD it is difficult to have a JKD standard for teaching it)
I don't claim to be a PFS expert, but from what I have seen this is what I think.
