Biting Still Usefull?

Y'all,

I was trained to include biting as part of my combatives package. Nose, ears, eyes, face, fingers, throat & other parts of the body make themselves available when in a tumble.

Nowadays, with the advent of AIDs and other nasty contagions that a BG may very likely carry, is it still a useful part of overall defense?

A situation where biting may become neccessary is gotta be pretty bad. All other self defense options have been taken away from ya and its defend or loose it all; if its time to bite.

If its all ya got left, are you going to stop just because there is a CHANCE you might catch something? If its to that point already, stopping to consider the odds adds to the CHANCE you will die before you have time to worry about some virus or whether the guy simply tasted bad. Minimize the risk and bite away.

Life or death. I'll choose life everytime, if offered...



And chew lots of garlic - for the vampires. ;)

Biting converts somebody fighting you to somebody who's mad as can be, adrenaline charged, and absolutely determined to kill you like some attacking vermin. Been bit once, and it will NOT stop your opponent.

It also takes your best sensors, your eyes, out of the fight for the most part.

OTOH, if that's the only weapon you've got left with no way to escape, what's your choice?

Use the best tool at hand at the moment.
If that be biting, so be it.
Object is to outlive the other person.

Anything that helps you achieve your ultimate goal (win the fight) is good in my book. No, biting will not stop your attacker, but it might help you break out of that choke hold. True with all the various social diseases, blood contamination is a concern, but only to someone who isn't dead.

What was that movie? I think it was The Bone Collector. The BG comes to kill the cop who is paralised (sp?) . Worked for him! All comes down to you do what you gotta do.

I think biting is still a useful tactic. Especially when it's used as Paul Vunak teaches it, as a means to create a gap between you and the opponent. Kina Mutai has it's place--although Paul Vunak gnawing on a raw roast is a sight that most people find disturbing on video.

HAHAHA sounds worth the price of the vid just to see that.

Biting on the back, thigh, bicep, things like that might not be very effective, especially if someone has the adrenaline dump going.

If you get an ear, nose, finger, cheek, lip ("rip their lips off!"), etc. then I think it would be quite effective. Especially in conjunction with an eyegouge for example. Maybe to set up a sub or reversal against a resisting opponent? How about if opponent tries to eyegouge and his fingers slip around near your mouth? Finger sausage time!

Like Sam said, use the right tool at the right moment. Never heard of someone leading in with a bite like a dog, but if all goes wrong and you find yourself in super CQB, just another weapon at your disposal.

Gotta love practicing your technique on a roast... :D.

Don't forget when someone is straddling you with your arms pinned and is about to turn your face into a makiwara board and they're sitting to far forward (ie towards your face) to use your legs. It ain't pretty, but a judicious bite to that most sensitive of regions will back them up enough for you to bridge and then get a leg around their throat or a knee in their back. Don't really have to worry about blood to much, since jeans are pretty hard to puncture with your teeth, its more of a shock value technique to create and opening than something that is going to put them out of the fight.

This is an especially good for tactic for me.

I wear an extra large hat on this extra large head of mine and it is equipped with extra large jaws to move this big mouth of mine.

:D

Further my jaw muscles are very strong because being very very Italian I love to eat all of the Italian food I can get my hands on and never tire of hearing my own voice! Not to mention the garlic thing.

;)

So go ahead BG and give me that ear, nose, etc. and watch it disappear under the gleam of my full jaw of strong teeth!

:eek:

The objective is not to "outlive" the other person. The objective (for civilian self-defense) is to escape with as little damage as possible.
Especially when it's used as Paul Vunak teaches it, as a means to create a gap between you and the opponent.

Exactly!
