Do other martial arts "flavor" your FMA?

For example the arts of the Presas brothers appear to show a heavy influence from Karate and Jiu-Jutsu, Latosa Escrima, Torres DTE, and others have a lot of boxing, Dog Bros. "Kali-Tudo" has a lot of grappling derived from BJJ as well as native Filipino sources. And, it seems that often these eclectic or "blended" FMAs are as successful as a good Filipino "adobo".
So my question is this, "Is your FMA blended or do you see it as something 'pure'? And if it is a blend, what other martial arts influenced your personal expression of the FMA you practice?"
