Part 3 of the grappling superheroes series of drawings (See Batman and Superman in previous posts)
I can leave the drawing open to interpretation, but considering 1) this blog's poor viewership, 2) out of those who will view the blog, only a fraction of those will ponder over it, and last but not least 3) out of that fraction, a fraction of that will have grappling knowledge, I will tell you all about this piece.
Peter Parker decided to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to improve his hand to hand combat, as he knew that he would be facing many a foe. He naturally gravitated to working the "spider guard," and developed a very good spider guard game. He focused all his training practicing the spider guard and at the time that Doc Ock came into the picture to terrorize Manhattan, Peter had not developed much instincts outside of the spider guard. In his first round with Doc Ock, he was eager to apply his BJJ knowledge and experience, but failed to realize that a huge difference between training with top black belts and grappling supervillains, is that some supervillains may have extra "limbs" and therefore a MUCH MORE STABLE BASE, not to mention that Doc Ock's extra arms have the potential to crush with forces on the order of 10^3kgf.
I'm a huge proponent of BJJ, but my money's on the Doc on this one.
I'm more of a BJJ and art fan than a comic book fan.
I'm not a comic book fan.
