Acc. to Guro Vunak, jkd is not a composite of many arts. JKD uses the best 1% to 5% of various arts to create to seamless approach to fighting that can make smooth transitions into and out of ranges. I remember a Wong article that compared jkd to the Suzuki violin method. JKD gets you to your goal as fast as possible, but just as a violinist will not go onstage and perform Suzuki exercises, neither will a fighter just robotically do everything Bruce did. In other words, process not product. But this is different than being a composite art.
