I don't think you get what he means by improvising and it seems you're literally taking it all on a more personalized level. He means in terms of choreography, every single move in the fight may not necessarily have been directly taken from a specific martial art (which is highly possible in that the choreography was improvised with no specific martial art in mind anyway). We're talking about the possible real-life influences for CQC, in which case is the specific fighting style used by Big Boss and The Boss (which from what we've seen, has already been blatantly referenced to Judo though not exclusively). In that regard, the main parts that could be considered as "true" CQC (in the sense of the created fighting technique in the MGS universe) mainly consisted of the "Ocelot" segment of the boss fight, as well as the beginning of the fight in which Liquid Ocelot still had his coat on. Don't forget that some parts of the fight reflected the final battle with Liquid as well, who himself hasn't exactly been labeled as a user of CQC (hence the "improvisation"), in which case it makes sense why the fight was a mixed bag between "true" CQC and the supposed "CQB" that was used by the original Liquid Snake.
