I have Bruce Lee's book, the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, I think it's called (in a drawer somewhere). Bruce Lee developed Jeet Kune Do from a mixture of different arts, combining the techniques he thought were useful. In his book there is a section on grappling in which he has diagrams taken from jiu jitsu techniques, so if you're going to a jeet kune do school looking for grappling techniques you're probably going to see a lot of what you're already getting.

I think Judo is a good addition to BJJ. BJJ schools don't seem to focus much on the take down aspect of grappling. Devloping your take down game could help you to secure the dominant faster in competition.
