This is one site you could start with. In my opinion Paulie Zink is possibly the foremost authority on Monkey Kung Fu. Hope it helps.

Does Monkey Kung-Fu REALLY work as a fighting art though, or is it one of the more traditional Chinese martial arts one would study for beauty, grace, agility, flexibility, health, etc....but not too good for a fight? Cuz I can't quite imagine someone rolling around acting like a monkey up against a competent Thai fighter or kickboxer. Just wondering though.

if that kungfu art is still exist as of now, then it is still effective even thou it is more on flowery and etc..... remember.... the more the beautiful the kungfu form is - the more that form is very deadly...... but be sure that you know how to apply that kind of form you are executing......

you said "Its best to let them come to you" .... well, it is very true, cause one of our objective in sparring is "no stepping backward" or no retreating step backward" only advance step while the opponent withdraw his step.... now, if the opponent advance his step, we should advance also our step, just like a two robot bulldozers banging each other (while smashing of forearm against opponents forearm) until who's who (the one who's forearm is not moving due to pain) then the fighter who's forearm are most conditioned are now free to enter land his fist to opponent's body and head......

Well I know there are, or is, a/some Filipino art/arts that utilize biting; one is strictly for biting. As for, "the more beautiful the form, the more deadly," I don't know about that, performance wushu forms are extremely beautiful and about as deadly as ballet will make you (not that ballet won't make you strong or anything like that, but I mean in terms of teaching you fighting techniques)

In Kong Han there is monkey fist but not every person could learn it because it requires power, ability & flexibility as well as some acrobatic skill.
The last time that Kong Han had a monkey fist fighter was in 1975 we call him " kawh ka" he was very agile, fllexible, acrobatic & powerful. He could break beach stones with two fingers. When he spar ( w/ armour) he was so fast & powerful, kick-kick, punch-punch jumping in & out. Very few people would want to spar with him.

The Filipino art your talking about is Kino Mutai, the art of gouging, pinching, and biting.
