We all know Spidey underwent training with Shang Chi after losing his Spider-sense:

He demonstrated his knowledge of it during Spider-island:

Am I the only one who thinks its a shame they've basically dropped this side of Spider-man?

Apart from that one showing during Spider-island I haven't seen him use it. Also I haven't noticed a big improvement in his general fighting style either which is odd as I would have thought this training would have helped.

@Strider92: It might not be completey gone yet

"Danger Zone" is the Hobgoblin story, Slott mentioned this at the Chicago Comic Con. Said it's a three-part story that's the conclusion of the sub-plot about Kingpin acquiring those Spider-Jammers waaaay back in the Vulture two-parter(and will apparently be picked up again in the Lizard story coming soon, going by the solicits). He said Spidey is gonna have to use his Spider-Fu to fight off the Kingpin's ninjas AND his personal bodyguard, The Hobgoblin. He also said there's a BIG status quo change for Phil Urich in that one.

They haven't announced the artist(I love all three ^_^), but I imagine Stefano Caselli will be the one to do it, just going by the rotation schedule. If there's one thing Stefano can draw, it's ninja/kung fu fight scenes. Plus, we haven't seen his version of the Hobgoblin yet, so I'm excited about that.

If superman learns boxing from muhhamad ali and wildcat then spidey can learn kung fu from shang chi, and he should not forget

@Death Certificate: That's good news. I'm glad they haven't pushed his training under the rug.

@Strider92: It couldn't fit there anymore, there are piles of stuff under the rug.

I agree, I think that he should still use it when he's in a fix as a sort of secret weapon against his normal enemies.

Looks like I spoke to soon lol:

Good to see Slott hasn't forgotten. I hope we'll see more of this kind of fighting in the future.

I think Peter only uses it when he feels he has too, at the end of the day is still probably more comfortable with his old fighting style.
