The way of the Spider is a style that has its roots set into a hidden monk monestry that was established deep underground.

These monks learned to identify the powers that could be obtained from mimicking and incorporating the styles of animals into their combative techniques. This particular monestry called the "namatu alainkabut" was unfortunate enough to select the style of the spider. What is so unfortunate about this is that they did so whilst  dwelling in the Underdark close to the heart of Lolth's temples.

Lolth took an interest and cursed the tribe to take on a more beastly nature in the hopes that they refer to the evil in their hearts and join her. The monks being a lonesome group, did not fall for these tricks and instead studied hard to utilise the benefits of this curse and have come a long way in the decades since. 

Now the monks are but one of the few clans from the Underdark who are not so suceptable to the dark ways surrounding them.

This is a style that namely is set in the defensive style obtained from incorporating the patience and agility of the spider.
