'''Parry''' is a term used in [[martial arts]] and [[fencing]] to refer to the act of deflecting an opponent's attack. It is a defensive action that involves the use of a weapon, hand, or other object to block or redirect an incoming attack. The goal of a parry is to prevent the opponent's attack from landing, thereby protecting oneself from harm.

== History ==

The concept of parrying has been a part of martial arts and fencing for centuries. It is believed to have originated in the [[Middle Ages]], when knights would use their swords to block attacks from their opponents. Over time, the technique evolved and became more sophisticated, with different styles of parrying being developed for different types of weapons and fighting styles.

== Techniques ==

There are several different techniques that can be used to parry an attack. These include:

* '''Simple Parry:''' This is the most basic form of parry, where the defender simply moves their weapon in the path of the attacker's weapon to block it.

* '''Circular Parry:''' In this technique, the defender moves their weapon in a circular motion to deflect the attacker's weapon. This can be used to redirect the attack and create an opening for a counterattack.

* '''Counter Parry:''' This is a more advanced technique where the defender not only blocks the attack, but also attempts to strike the attacker at the same time.

== Use in Modern Fencing ==

In modern [[fencing]], the parry is a fundamental technique that is taught to all beginners. It is used in all three types of fencing - [[foil]], [[épée]], and [[sabre]] - and is a key part of the sport's strategy and tactics.
