The Chinese word 拳打脚踢 is formed through the juxtaposition of two parallel verb-object constructions: 拳打, meaning 'fist hitting,' and 脚踢, meaning 'foot kicking.' Each construction pairs a body part noun (拳 fist, 脚 foot) with an action verb (打 hit, 踢 kick). Their combination results in a compound word that literally describes the act of striking with fists and kicking with feet.
