Remise (fencing)

The remise is a continuation of an attack in fencing. It is preformed when a defender has parried but falters in his riposte or preforms a compound riposte. If the defender does one of these two things and the attacker continues his attack in a remise then the attacker regains the right of way. The remise is a good way of regaining the right of way from fencers who falter in their riposte or often preform compound ripostes.
