Not to start a war, but from what I understand about "Original's" supposed limitations coupled with statements made by most all the "original" students (first generation), about it's founder's martial prowess during his post Jack Man, pre-JKD period, I seriously doubt he would've had any trouble handling any of those guys on the clips using just his pre - Jeet Kune do stuff (Jun Fan or Original). I understand the same could be said for several of those original students skills in that period.
I mean, you're unwittingly implying that Lee, Glover, Hartsell, Mike Lee, Inosanto, et al would've had trouble with these guys if they (Lee, et al) were limited to dealing with them (guys in clips) with the just the skills of the so called "Original" period?
I don't mean any offense by that. I notice you always thank people for posting a clip or for one thing or another on a regular basis. So, I know you're cool. I'm just throwing this out there in light of your statemenet about their lack of preparation (supposed JKD guys on the clips) being due in part to their "Original" training.
