I know that Wing Chun, Boxing, and Fencing were the backbone of JKD. In his book "Bruce Lee's Fighting Method", there seems to be some moves that are not part of Wing Chun, boxing, and fencing such as high kicks.

Does anyone know where/whom he learned his moves from? Did he acquire them from martial arts books? I know that he cross trained with Chuck Norris.

Also where/who taught him the nunchaku?
 
The high kicks Bruce Lee used in Jeet kune do are from the French kickboxing called Savate.
He learned this thru videos ( from 1920s - 1940s archive ) and from books.
He also cross trained with Jhoon Ree a taekwondo expert .

For the nunchaku skill he learned it from Dan Inosanto , who was a former US Soldier , Karate Black belt.
