also circular parry. A parry that moves in a circle to end up in the same position in which it started. A counter-parry usually traps an attack coming in a different line, but in the same high/low line. Thus, Parry Counter-Six (circular outside hide) is effective against attacks in the Four line (inside high).
A defensive movement where the fencer moves the opponent's blade away by making a small circle with the tip of the blade around the opponent's blade.
a parry made in the opposite line to the attack; ie. the defender first comes around to the opposite side of the opponent's blade. See Circular Parry
