1. Can anyone recommend a good website that provides an intro to FMA, its techniques and training?
There are many web sites out there that have good info available. That being said, you will also see many variations on FMA history, terminology, and technique. Start with these and do some searching on your own to draw your own conclusions. Stay out of politics, and stay away from groups that don't do any kind of full contact sparring (stick and knife). I am biased toward certain systems, others will push theirs, again, do some searching on your own to draw your own conclusions.
The FMA Database is a good start for finding instructors & schools in your area.

There are many others, I just don't cruise the net too much anymore. There are just a few sites that I frequent, otherwise, I'm out training.
I have heard that there is a FMA that teaches a whole section on biting. Can anyone verify this?
Vunak came out with some sort of biting style a few years ago, I don't remember what he called it.
Biting is really a primal thing. If we're in a standing grapple or on the ground, I don't need a "style" to bite whatevers at hand. But then again, there is the whole aids and other blood borne diseases out there to contend with.
