true enough, but a bite or a gouge should not be the first line of defence.
the first line of defense should be to work an escape to get out of the inferior position and into a dominant one from there you can ground and pound or work the submission.
i (briefly) looked into kino mutai over the interweb and it sounds pretty good, as long as it is paired with sound grappling principles.
the danger lies in the belief that a bite or an eye gouge will get the practioner out of ANY situation (not that i'm saying you have that belief, i'm just saying that it is a common misconception)
also they are wrong about it being the best filipino martial art, being filipino myself i know what it is...
you distract the guy while your cousin hits him over the head with a pool cue. that my friend is where we shine!
