So what you are saying is that anything that a student of Jeet Kune Do tests themselves in sparring all out, or in real fights is worth including and becomes part of Jeet Kune Do


Sorry, I just wanted to respond to this really quick.
You have to remember, Jeet Kune Do itself, is not a martial art. It is concepts. And if you can apply those concepts to any art you do, be it japanese, korean, chinese, or whatever, then you will have found something to add to your own JKD because it's what works for you.
When people say "I've studied all these arts, and deem them worthy of the JKD name" it shouldn't be because they've studied all those arts and they combined them. It should be because they've studied those arts, along with Jun Fan Gung Fu/ JKD concepts and were able to apply those concepts to whatever it was they studied previously, and got the results they desired.
That is JKD.
