ABSENCE OF BLADE: When the blades are not in contact, i.e. not ENGAGED ANGULATION: Bending the wrist when making a hit so that the point is at an angle to the TARGET APPEL: Stamping the forward foot twice in order to request that fencing action be temporarily ceased. Also used to startle (and possibly 'freeze') your opponent. ATTACK: An offensive action designed to hit the opponent. In foil and Sabre, the fencer initiating an attack has the RIGHT OF WAY provided his/her sword arm is extending and the point (or edge for Sabre) of his/her blade is continuously threatening the target. ATTACK ON THE BLADE: A PREPARATION for an attack, e.g. beat, pressure, or graze ATTACK ON PREPARATION: An attack launched when the opponent is making a preparation for an attack BALLESTRA: A footwork pattern consisting of a jump forward followed by a LUNGE as the rear foot contacts the floor BARRAGE: A bout or bouts fenced to break a tie at a competition. Barrages are seldom required now that direct elimination is used as the competition format. BEAT: A sharp tap on the opponent's blade designed to deflect it and open a line into which an attack may be launched. BIND: A preparation of attack which carries the opponent's blade diagonally across from a high to a low LINE or vice versa BROKEN TIME: A deliberate pause between two movements which normally follow each other immediately CARTE: Inside high quarter of the target. Also, a SUPINATED PARRY defending this line CEDING PARRY: A parry formed by giving way to an opponent who is making a PRISE DE FER CHANGE BEAT: A beat made after a CHANGE OF ENGAGEMENT CHANGE OF ENGAGEMENT: Engaging the opponent's blade in a new line CIRCULAR PARRY: See COUNTER CLOSED LINE: A line which is protected by the blade, arm, and bell guard COMPOUND ATTACK: An attack which includes one or more FEINTS e.g. ONE-TWO CORPS À CORPS: Body contact between fencers. Violation of the rules in foil and Sabre. COULÉ: A sliding of the blade along the opponent's blade prior to an attack COUNTER: An action made with the blade in which the point describes one complete circle. e.g. A counter-sixte parry is made by starting from sixte en garde, moving the point in a clockwise circle and ending in sixte en garde, the opponent's blade being deflected during the circular motion. A counter parry is also known as a CIRCULAR PARRY. A counter-disengage is an action which deceives (avoids) a counter parry by a circular motion in the same direction, but just slightly ahead of the counter parry. COUNTER-ATTACK: An attack made while the opponent is attacking (i.e. attacking 'into' the opponent's attack). In foil and Sabre the counterattack does not have priority (right of way) over the attack. See STOP HIT. COUNTER-DISENGAGE: See COUNTER COUNTER-PARRY: See COUNTER COUNTER-RIPOSTE: The offensive action which follows the parry of a RIPOSTE or of another counter riposte COUNTER-TIME: A planned sequence of actions determined by the opponent's response to the first action of the sequence.

EN GARDE: The 'on guard' position (feet shoulder width apart, front foot pointing at opponent, rear foot perpendicular to front foot, knees flexed). If preceded by a reference to a line (e.g. sixte en garde) this describes the position of the blade (i.e. which line is closed). EN MARCHE: While stepping forward ENVELOPMENT: Taking the opponent's blade and describing a circle to return to the line of engagement without losing contact of blades ÉPÉE: Derived from the duelling sword. Hits are scored with the point only. Whole body is valid target. No right of way.

In the absence of an attack from his opponent, a fencer can establish his right of way by launching an attack or placing his point in line. The opponent can then gain the right of way by parrying the attack or deflecting the point in line with a beat or prise de fer. RIPOSTE: The reply to an attack (a take-over of the offense). Initiated by the fencer who has defended himself by parrying his opponent's attack. SABRE: Derived from the cavalry sword.

What is a parry in fencing?
Saber Fencing ParriesThe parry six in saber fencing is basically a parry five, with your weapon arm on the other side of where your arm would have been if it was a parry five. So if your weapon arm fist was on your right when you do a parry five, it will be on the left in a parry six. The blade still blocks the same target area as the parry five (the head), but exposes your forearm to attack (which is why few people use it). There is no Parry 8 in Saber Fencing, though.
