Can't see the video. What's it about?
Bite a chunk out of what ever you can sink your teeth into ?
It also depends on how much training that you have put into your "biting".If you don't care about losing your teeth, and possibly escalating the violence to the point where your face gets turned to hamburger, sure.
A better idea is to learn how to escape the chokes, holds, and positions. There's an escape for each and every one of them, and they're more reliable than attempting to bite from an inferior position.
However, if you're unskilled, desperate, or simply screwed, then yeah, bite away.
It also depends on how much training that you have put into your "biting".
Beginner level: Get a raw pig leg and sink your teeth all the way into the bone.
Intermediate level: Try to bite a dog's leg off, or a snake's head off before it gets you.
Advance level: Go to a zoo and test your biting skill against tiger or lion.
Whenever your opponent applies "arm bar" on you, his leg is always close to your mouth. If you have AIDS, your biting will be very powerful.
If you can bite one of your opponent's fingers off his hand, the amount of blood and also the fear that he will lose that finger for the rest of his life will make him to give up that fighting.
If you have watched "The Shawshank Redemption" movie, you will agree how powerful a biting can be.
For that "biting vs. arm bar" situation, more testing will be needed in order to draw the conclusion whether arm bar can cause more pain, or biting can cause more pain.Can you bite through a persons leg? That is a big muscle. He only need a second to break that arm. You are going to hurt him. But it will take a while to damage that leg to the point where you can get out.

yes - My response was assuming this was a true self defense situation (not on the mat), were your pinned on the ground being beaten horribly, or your health and life is at risk, and you don't have the ground skills. Bite, eye gouge, what have you.

If you don't bite at that moment, your opponent will still break your arm any way. If you know that you will be killed, you want to at least take some of your opponent's fresh and blood with you.I mean, if you think a bite will get him to release the lock, go for it. At that point your pretty screwed either way.
It sounds like you are talking about Do-jime, which is banned in Judo for some reason.There is one very easy way that I love to show (because it's VERY easy at it seems that no one no (and use) it! Sadly I don't find the video (I don't know the technique name). That is a body choke with legs on the floating ribs. (Not clear, I guess.) He just can't be much bigger than you. If I want to 'win' this is my first choice. 0,5 secondes, no risk.

Either Shuai Chiao (SC) or Judo are requirement course for the 4 years Central Police University in Taiwan. Before those police officers can graduate , they will need to compete a wrestling tournament to prove their skill and obtain black belt. Since the SC class didn't teach ground skill but the Judo class did, some SC students used biting in their ground game. When that happen, the chief Judo referee and the chief SC referee had a big argument. They finally went to the head of the university.
- The SC chief referee (my teacher) asked, "Are we teaching our police officer how to survival in the street?"
- The chancellor said, "Yes."
- My teacher then asked, "When a criminal got an arm bar on our police officer, if our police officer just tapped, will that criminal let our police officer go free?"
My teacher won that argument. In that university, the biting was then part of the ground game since then.
Here is an old picture to prove that "biting" was taught to the students. That's exactly the "arm bar" position.
Not "substitute" but "addition". The ground skill and biting doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.Yeah, I have no doubt it was taught, I just have a real issue substituting technical skill with biting. You're simply not going to be able to bite your way out of a bad situation. Better to learn to avoid getting in that position in the first place.
