Crane Wing
Benefit: Once per round while using Crane Style, when you have at least one hand free and are either fighting defensively or using the total defense action, you can deflect one melee weapon attack that would normally hit you. You expend no action to deflect the attack, but you must be aware of it and not flat-footed. An attack so deflected deals no damage to you.
Do claws, bites, tail lashes, etc. count as melee weapons, or does the feat call specifically for wielded weapons like swords and spears?

Cheapy is right; if the ability was intended to work with only manufactured weapons it would have used that terminology, just like haste does.
EDIT: Just like haste did! Could've sworn haste omitted natural weapons once upon a time...

Concur, natural weapons are weapons. (<-I'm too lazy to find the dev statement)
There have been numerous threads on this particular topic (Crane Wing).
