While I was thinking about fencing I retrieved this from my "memorabilia" box: myself (once upon a time), executing what is probably the least practical parry in the repertoire (prime). Takes a long time to get into, and if you miss the opponent's blade, look at all that lovely target. On the pro side, the riposte is a flick of the wrist to land the tip.
