A preemptive strike is a first strike which is intended to cripple the opponent's ability to respond. It is taken when it is believed that the opponent is preparing to strike. It often implies nuclear warhead usage.
because if you kick at your opponent first he can grab your leg and strike back. if you punch your opponent first will block your hand using his other hand somehow and strike back. if he blocks your strike and he strikes back its not over. you can block his strike and strike back. that is how kung fu works. BUT YOU CAN NEVER DODGE!!!!
Encounter an unexpectedly formidable opponent after having become accustomed to mediocre opponent.

A creature with the keyword "force of will" first strike has an advantage in combat situations because it can deal damage to its opponent before the opponent can strike back. This allows the creature to potentially eliminate the opponent before taking any damage itself, giving it a strategic edge in battles.
refusal to work or perform
intention and capability. preemption is the fact that you know the opponent will definitely attack and you have all the evidence, then you strike. prevention is you know the opponent will attack but you do not know how soon although no evidence, than you strike.
A creature with the keyword "magic first strike" has the advantage of being able to deal damage to its opponent before they can strike back. This can give the creature a strategic edge in combat by potentially eliminating the opponent before they have a chance to retaliate.
no. CS:S is a completely new game
"Kiai" is a spirit shout that you let out when you strike your opponent.
There are four main striking targets.1) men cut = centre of the top of opponent's head.2) do cut = opponent's waist just above the hip. Left or right side.3) kote cut = opponent's wrist. Right wrist when lowered, left wrist when raised.4) tsuki thrust = opponent's throat, specifically the centre of the throat where the protective guard is. Not a recommended strike for beginners.
