[Serious Phil] "chain hitting"

[larry_tapper]

<<In the kung fu style called Wing Chun there is a technique called "chain
punching" where the hands just keep flowing in a non-stop circular motion
directed against the opponent's vulnerable center line, the idea being to defeat
not by a single blow but by a barrage. You may want to Google that, too, to get
a sense of what Sean no doubt had in mind though I doubt you'd find the term in
your standard dictionary as it's technical to the martial arts. Not all things
on heaven or earth, Horatio, are dreamt of in your dictionaries! -- SWM>>

Ah, thanks for the clarification. This time I'll overlook the pomposity.
