- A.
A parry formed while retreating from an opponent who is performing a direct attack
- B.
A parry formed by giving way to an opponent who is taking the blade
- C.
A parry formed while advancing towards an opponent after they have performed an indirect attack
Correct Answer
B. A parry formed by giving way to an opponent who is taking the bladeExplanation
Ceding parry is a defensive move in fencing where the fencer gives way to their opponent who is taking the blade. This means that instead of directly blocking or countering the opponent's attack, the fencer moves their blade out of the way, allowing the opponent's blade to pass by. By doing so, the fencer avoids getting hit and creates an opportunity to counterattack. This technique is effective when the opponent's attack is strong and difficult to directly parry or counter.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. A beat made after passing under or over the opponent's bladeExplanation
A change beat refers to a specific type of beat that is executed after passing under or over the opponent's blade. This technique involves striking the opponent's blade with enough force and precision to change its position or angle. By doing so, the fencer gains an advantage and disrupts the opponent's attack or defense. This move requires skill and timing to successfully execute and can be an effective strategy in fencing.Rate this question:

- C.
A lateral parry of quarte or sixte, followed by a circular change of engagement
Correct Answer
A. Deflection of the opponent's attacking blade by making a circle with the sword pointExplanation
The correct answer is: Deflection of the opponent's attacking blade by making a circle with the sword point. This means that when an opponent attacks, the defender uses their sword to create a circular motion, redirecting the attacking blade away from them. By making a circle with the sword point, the defender can effectively parry the attack and protect themselves from harm.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Two or more single actions performed together as one continuous actionExplanation
The correct answer is "Two or more single actions performed together as one continuous action." In compound action, multiple single actions are combined and executed as a single continuous action. This means that two or more separate actions are performed simultaneously or in quick succession, merging them into a single fluid movement. This allows for a more efficient and effective execution of the actions, maximizing their impact and achieving the desired outcome.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Two or more consecutive takings of the blade, alike or different, with no loss of blade contactExplanation
The correct answer is "Two or more consecutive takings of the blade, alike or different, with no loss of blade contact." This means that the compound prises de fer involve multiple consecutive actions of taking the blade, whether it is the same or different, without any interruption or loss of contact with the opponent's blade. This technique requires precision and control to maintain continuous blade contact throughout the sequence of actions.Rate this question:

- C.
Low line, pronated guard on the sword-arm side
Correct Answer
A. High line, pronated guard on the sword-arm sideExplanation
The correct answer is "High line, pronated guard on the sword-arm side." This means that the guard position is held on the side of the sword-arm in a pronated (palm facing down) position, and it is used to defend against attacks in the high line. The high line refers to the upper body area that is vulnerable to attacks, such as the head or upper torso. By using a pronated guard on the sword-arm side, the fighter can effectively protect themselves against high line attacks.Rate this question:
