Comments:

Biting is an unorthodox move and contains certain social stigmas, but can be very useful in a life or death situation.

Depending upon the pressure and target chosen, injury caused to the opponent by biting can range from simple bruising, to crushing, to removal of flesh and/or bone.

People tend to forget the potentiality of the mouth as a weapon, leaving biting as an excellent surprise attack.
