In a real fight you do what works. If you are trapped by the dictates of any particular movements then you will probably lose.

that's the best part of using what you've learned, by practicing and keeping your mind open to possibilities and being creative.
my instructor always tells us to use the basics of what we've been taught, but to be creative with the basics as many other options will open themselves to you.
he shows us the set or structured ways and then allows us to use those tactics in other ways than just what we've been shown.
So yeah, thinking outside the box and not going by the set techniques helps you to do more, and that's the real beauty of Martial Arts, the creativity. So you're heading in the right direction, but be sure that what you do will really work in a real fight and remember to keep what you learned constructive to defending yourself.
keep up the good training.

If you are sparring, try thinking out of the box - that is what it is for (partially).
I agree that you must be careful with wrist/joint locks, because you can do enourmous damage with little effort - you must be aware of what you are doing, and you should attempt such things only when sparring an advanced (read instructor) opponent.
If you are in a situation where you are defending yourself, you should not have to think at all. The stress affects your thought patterns, and you should have practiced enough to react only.

It depends on your level of expertise and your Sensei. A novice trying to do something on his/her own can seriously hurt somebody. Once you're accomplished and know what you're doing, you understand the stresses that such a move puts on your workout partner, and can apply it smoothly and without jerking. Jerking causes many injuries when applying locking techniques. The Sensei should realize this and make sure only the higher students are given this type of leeway, and only after the proper instruction has been given.

any good martial arts instructor will advise you to use wrist locks as a last option in a self defense situation.some times they just dont work, especially on people who do physical labor...also trying to grab a wrist leaves you open to the other hand,feet,knees etc. it is good to think outside the box, but make sure its realistic.

I don't do techniques I haven't learnt, but I learn extra techniques outside of the class.

If it works for you, do it. Thinking outside the box is a good thing. A warrior doesn't artificially limit himself.

Controlling the wrist is one of the biggest things while grappling, especially in wrestling.

Yes I have many time. That's why sparring is good, it allows you to experiment other techniques.
