The term, when used in the Volcanus Island lore, refers to a method to attack fish.
In order to efficiently use a cobra strike, you must make your hand flat, and point your fingers out straight as rigid as possible. The immediate area in front of you, which is represented as a 2 foot invisible half circle in front of your chest, is known as the "Striking Zone." You then hold up your striking hand about 8 inches away from your chest. When a fish or other unsuspecting denizen of the ocean enters the "Striking Zone" you quickly thrust your hand forward at the creature and follow through with your arm in order for the strike to have full potential. If commited effectively, the cobra strike will leave the unsuspecting creature bruised, embarrased, downtrodden, and tantalized.
