WAYS OF DOING THINGS:

Глагол to beat описывает действие, связанное с многократным нанесением ударов, но не указывает как, чем, кому эти удары наносятся. Ниже приводимые глаголы конкретизируют общее значение глагола to beat.

To beat smb up указывает на силу и разумность битья - "избивать, избить так, что избиваемый не может подняться или теряет сознание": There were reports that soldiers used to beat up prisoners with their rifles. Появились сообщения, что солдаты избивали пленных прикладами ружей.

Глаголы to hit и to strike описывают единичные акты избиения - "ударить, нанести удар, стукнуть". Глагол to hit широко употребляется в обыденных ситуациях, а глагол to strike носит более книжный, официальный, юридический характер: Evidence showed that the victim had been struck over the head with an iron bar. Свидетельские показания указывали на то, что пострадавшему был нанесен удар по голове железным прутом. Peter keeps hitting me. Петр меня все время бьет. The woman claimed that one of the policemen hit her in the chest and kicked her several times. Женщина утверждала, что один из полицейских ударил ее в грудь и пнул несколько раз ногой. She was on the point of striking/hitting the child again when her husband stopped her. Она чуть было не ударила ребенка еще раз, когда муж остановил ее.

Глагол to punch и существительное punch описывают сильный удар кулаком (нанесенный вперед): She punched him hard in the stomach she rushed to the phone and called the police. Ударив его сильно кулаком в живот, она бросилась к телефону и вызвала полицию.

Глагол to slap подчеркивает, чем и куда был нанесен удар - "ударить в лицо раскрытой ладонью, дать пощечину/затрещину под влиянием гнева, возмущения, сильного волнения": She got so indignant at what he said that she turned around and slapped him across his face. Ее так возмутили его слова, что она повернулась и дала ему пощечину. For a moment she was on the point of slapping him across his face. В какой-то момент она его чуть не ударила по лицу. /В какой-то момент она готова была ударить его по лицу.

Глагол to kick обозначает ударить ногой, пнуть, пинать, дать пинка, наподдать: Two of the boys held him lying on the floor and another starked kicking him. Двое парней держали его на полу, а третий начал бить его ногами.

Глагол to knock smb about/around - "бить, ударить несколько раз, чтобы испугать кого-либо": My father used to knock my poor mother about when he was drunk. Отец, когда был пьян, колотил мою бедную мать. Just knock her about for a while to make her silent and not toll the police what she knows. Наподдай ей разок-другой, чтобы она не рассказала полиции о том, что знает.

Действие глагола to batter направлено на женщин, детей, тех, кто слабее - "бить, избивать, данное действие происходит обыкновенно под влиянием неудержимого гнева": They suspected that the child had been battered regularly by his parents. Они подозревали, что родители регулярно избивали ребенка.
