How can a "shove" not be considered "forceful contact"?
Since the defination of "strike" includes "contact forcefully", then this must be considered a "strike".

Hold on there. You're completely dropping key words in the defintion of strike....
to come into contact forcefully. It's how the contact is initiated that makes it a strike. If I softly put my hand on someone and then use it to shove them, it may be forceful contact but it is NOT a strike. A strike is like a punch but may be with an open hand, arm, etc.
