I don't really consider it cross training anymore. Stand up Clinch and Ground are all part of the same game. Though the techniques may have originated with different arts. Thai Boxing, Wrestling, Boxing, Jitz, Savat, and whatever else, still they are all part of the same game...It's not cross training it's just training to fight.
In response to
"With a little bit of Shoot Wrestling (much better than BJJ which doesn't even hit or lock up the legs)"
The ground is the ground it does not matter if you call it Bjj, Shoot Wrestling, JKD groundfighting or whatever. If your training something on the ground that does not look anything like bjj they your probably not really rolling and therefore not improving at anything.
The problem with training for street fighting is that you end up spending your time thinking of things like how you can stab people with your pen rather than how you can improve your performance. While that mentality may be fun for some people. It would not be fun for me.
