In Epee everything on target like the red area below

The point of fencing is to touch your opponent in the target area.

Lunge — The predominant body movement for the attack, the lunge decreases distance between your weapon and the opponent’s target. The action proceeds in this order:

Parry — The blocking, positioning or deflecting motion of the blade that stops an opponent's attack. There are eight fundamental parries, and multiple ways to enter into each parry.

Riposte — The offensive action, launched by a defender, following the successful parry of an attack.

Fresh- A attack followed through that is pushed off by your back foot.

Disengage — The evasion of the opponent's blade when the opponent attempts to parry your attack.

Advance — Forward step. Move the front foot first, then the back foot

Retreat — Backwards step. Move the back foot first, then the front foot.
