No they dont. They mix the whole lot up into a style that suits themselves.
The very thing Lee began.
Fuck Kung fu it was a simple stepping stone for him and others.
Think about Karate in the same light you try blocking in those rounded movements like traditional karate does and throwing from the hip with over rotating punches and see how far that gets you these days.
Thai kick boxing back in the day was the closest to what the whole fight game has become the rest all have their uses.
Jeet kune do still has its too. That is where Lee finished and others took over.
Now the whole game is a mixture of useful techniques from many arts including western boxing. Arts that wouldn't stand alone in the Octagon unless a beast of a person came out of one. Kung fu has many forms and is the worse I agree, but all traditional art forms just arent good enough on their own these days, they have to learn the best out of each to survive.
