I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'asian striker?' is the definition.
'cobra' can be an answer for 'striker?' (I have seen 'dangerous striker' mean 'cobra' so perhaps 'striker' could also mean 'cobra'). I'm not certain of the 'asian' bit.

'firm support' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'support' becomes 'bra' (a support for the breasts).
'co'+'bra'='COBRA'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cobra that I've seen before include "Venomous hooded snake" , "one leading charmed life?" , "hamadryad" , "Reptile (found in Cabinet Office Briefing Room A?)" , "Poisonous snake" .)
