I do agree with what you say. I am a student of JF/JKD, and I do dabble with arts, such as Kali/escrima and Silat. However, it would be a disgrace to all authentic practitioners to say I was a "full-time" student of the FMA's.
In the same way JKD students train in boxing, Muay Thai, Wing Chun trapping etc, we are not boxers, Muay Thai fighters, Wing Chun etc. The advantage of learning something this way is that you develop an appreciation of what systems have to offer. If something takes your fancy, then you can always look into it further.
Maybe thats why a lot of JKD people have decided to walk their own path and look at other things, such as the FMAs.
