Reasons why they allow that free first shot varies; the character giving up the first shot might be a ReluctantWarrior essentially giving their opponent a LastChanceToQuit. It might be that the ArrogantKungFuGuy is trying to show off their superiority. Perhaps they're simply trying to get an idea of exactly how strong the opponent is. It could be that [[TheAtoner they feel the other person is right to be angry with them]] so they allow that free shot in the hope that the other person will be satisfied after that.

Possibly the worst case is getting a CombatSadomasochist who sees the free shot as the start of a good time.
