We can go through all those esoterically psychological reasons why the karate-ka, in this post, should not strike first. Why they should not do so in applying impact techniques in self protection is another matter.
In general there are some very good tactical reasons why you might want to "not strike first." Just so you will have something to research or a better reason to buy a book - read chapter forty-eight of the book, "The Book of Martial Power," by Steven J. Pearlman. Pay attention to the paragraph on "Committed."
Sorry, bet you thought I was going to answer this one for you, NOT, read the book for it contains far more that this principle of martial systems.
