A match on action shot is when the editor would cut from one shot to another that simply provides another view of the previous shot's action. This is a part of continuity editing. A character would usually start an action before the editor cuts to another shot, showing the same action being completed. This has been described to create a kind of "visual bridge" as any viewer is distracted by the action and doesn't notice the cutting. This editing technique is most commonly used when a character is would walk through another room, the editor cuts to another shot which shows him after he enters the new room.
This is a great example of a match on action shot, and even contains explanations.
