As for completely different styles from other cultures like Aikido and Jujitsu, I wouldn't know how to compare them - Kung Fu I know, but I can't say anything about the styles of other cultures (well, I do know Tae Kwon Do as well, but I feel it is more of an olympic sport than an effective fighting style).
Akido, which I've studied for, holy **** almost twenty years, and Jujitsu, which I've dabbled with on and off for probably ten are simmilar in many ways. While Akido is more philsophical and Jujitso more practical both are essentially at their hearts grappling/throwing/breaking/submission arts. As opposed to Jeet Kun Do or whatever form of striking/kicking/blocking martial art you want to name.
In my head, this is what would happen if Lee fought an Akido or Jujitsu master of comeptiton status (as opposed to say, me). Lee would hit them a few times as they covered up and ran towards him, possibly injuring them slightly. Then they'd get hold of him and he'd be unconcious in about thirty seconds. It's just simple leverage. If you and I are in a street fight and you weigh 140 pounds, I'm going to win. You might hurt me a little, but at some point I'm going to get hold of you and either break, choke, or put you in excruciating pain untill you submit.
It's not bravado, it's just the way it is. It's why they have wright classes in every martial sport.
