Well, spider web is pretty simple. When Sifu puts his hands on the opponent's forearms, there is enough pressure that he can feel his opponent's structure and the quality of his contact with the floor. Sort of like sending a radar signal down to the floor which bounces back up. He said that this is similar to what a spider does: if anything touches the spider's web, the spider feels the vibration instantly.
Thus once Sifu has established this kind of contact, he has already harmonized himself with the opponent, and can no longer be surprised, since he can clearly sense every movement.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand the concept and have heard it referred to as having great sensitivity. I just never heard Sifu use the term spider web before. Of course it makes sense and does help one visualize the concept.
