Parries generally cover one of the 'lines' of the body. The simplest parries move the blade in a straight line. Other parries move the blade in a circular, semicircular, or diagonal manner. There are eight basic parries, and many derivatives of these eight. (see #Prime, #Seconde, #Tierce, #Quarte, #Quinte, #Sixte, #Septime, #Octave, #Neuvieme). See also #Lines.

In foil, the opponent's blade should not only be deflected away from the target, but away from off-target areas as well. An attack that is deflected off the valid target but onto invalid target still retains right-of-way. In sabre, the opponent's blade need only be deflected away from valid target, since off-target touches do not stop the phrase. Sabre parries must be particularly clean and clear to avoid the possibility of whip-over touches. In épée, a good parry is simply any one that gains enough time for the riposte; opposition parries and prise-de-fer are commonly used, since they do not release the opponent's blade to allow a remise.

Historical and Foreign Fencing Terminology

Note that the vocabulary here is primarily a glossary of modern fencing terms. Over time, the teminology has evolved, and different terminology may be found in Medieval and Renaissance sources. In many cases, English, French, and Italian terminology may be used (often interchangeably) for the same thing.

Reprise

by: Sopor Aeternus

Hanging down from the ceiling ... the old pendulum now
rests,
Time stands still ... - like iron - ... in the house of
the dead.
Our fragile souls lie weeping, sealed in sleep and balls
of lead,
All flowers here are dust, but we can still recall their
scent.
In filth, decay and disrelish the leg-less man lay
kneeling,
Weeping petrified, out of his mind ... - half buried, yet
still breathing.
His lips are soft like powder and so cold ... colder than
snow;
Mingled with the dust he fell, all paralysed by flesh and
bone.
"Forgive us, please, for we're long fallen",
Shivering carcass shuns the light,
Ancient bodies' fallen heaven, a dark star in a fallen
sky.
"Flow my tears !" , the angel said,
He forced a smile than bowed his head,
How much he wished that he could die ... -
Tore his old wings off with a sigh.
