When a boxer throw a series of 3 or 4 blows in less than a second, only the last is a true blow (by GURPS standard) while the others are lighter and their purpose is to prepare the last true blow. Same is true for techniques from the other "speed" unarmed martial arts like the chain of punches in kung fu or wing chun. A lot of movements intended to open the way for a single true attack.

This in GURPS is Deceptive Attack.
