    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.

    Find a way

    Just let it be
    And I'd only do for you what you'd do for me
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me
    Wastin' time like it was free
    Will you ever find where you'll be
    And I'd only do for you what you'd do for me
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me yeeeeah
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me
    Ohhhh... don't look back just to lean on me
    Ohhhh... it's taken the life out of me
    It's not like you'd know
    You've never been close enough
    Closer than you've been to me
    It's not what you say
    It's just in the way
    You push me awaaay
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me yeeeeeah
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me yeeeeeah
    And I only would do for you what you'd do for me
