The Fencing Words Behind the Puns

Most fencing team names twist a fencing word, and many of those words are French. These are the ones behind the puns.

Word	What it means
En garde	The command to take the ready position at the start of a bout.
Allez	French for “go.” The referee says it to start the action.
Touché	French for “touched,” used to admit a clean hit.
Foil	A light thrusting weapon. Only the torso is target, and right of way decides who scores.
Épée	The heaviest of the three weapons. The whole body is target, there is no right of way, and both fencers can score at once.
Sabre	A weapon that scores with the edge as well as the point. Everything above the waist is target, including the head and arms.
Parry	Blocking or deflecting the opponent’s blade with your own.
Riposte	The attack that follows right after a successful parry.
Lunge	The basic attack: a long step forward with the front foot while the back leg pushes and straightens.
Flèche	French for “arrow.” A running attack where the fencer launches forward off the front foot.
Piste	The fencing strip, the long narrow area where a bout takes place.
Lamé	The conductive jacket worn in foil and sabre so the scoring box can tell when a touch lands on target.

How to Pick a Fencing Team Name

• Keep it short. Pool sheets, brackets and scoring screens cut off long names, so two or three words work best.
• Match the name to your weapon. A foil squad can play with right of way, an épée team with toe touches, a sabre team with cuts.
• Say it out loud with the French words in it and make sure nobody stumbles over touché or flèche.
• Youth teams should keep it friendly. Swashbucklers and musketeers beat anything about blood.
• Check with your coach or club before ordering jackets. Many clubs want the club name on every team.
