A parry is a fencing bladework maneuver intended to deflect or block an incoming attack. Jérémy Cadot (on the left) parries the flèche attack from Andrea Baldini during the final of the Challenge international de Paris.
Circle parry: A parry where the weapon is moved in a circle to catch the opponent's tip and deflect it away. Counter attack: A basic fencing technique of attacking one's opponent while generally moving back out of the way of the opponent's attack. Used quite often in épée to score against the attacker's hand/arm.
A counter-parry usually traps an attack coming in a different line, but in the same high/low line. Thus, Parry Counter-Six (circular outside hide) is effective against attacks in the Four line (inside high). Opposition Parry – deflecting the incoming attack without ever losing contact with the blade from the initial engagement. Ordinal parries
The parry riposte uses the strength of one's own blade to avoid the opponent's. After performing it, the fencer then counters the attack with a combined attack which would force the opponent to parry, allow you to counter parry the opponent's blade, and allow you to penetrate their next parry to win.
This procedure is repeated until either one of the fencers has reached the required number of points (generally, 1, 5, or 15, depending on the format of the bout) or until the time allowed for the bout runs out. Fencing bouts are timed: the clock is started every time the referee calls "Allez" and stopped every time they call "Halt!".
Circles, such as Circle 3, 4, and 5, defend against stabs to the body, which an ordinary parry would not block. This is extremely useful, as it is highly versatile, covering much of the target area. There are variations of the primary and secondary parries where the fencer uses their body along with the blade.
