Remise
Why remise for this blog's name? Well, I thought something short and memorable was in order. Remise is short, although it may not be the most memorable. It is a fencing term -- swordplay not stolen goods selling -- and being a former NCAA and USFA fencer it is memorable to me.
Technically, a remise is a continuation of an attack after an initial attack has been parried or failed to land on target. In foil and sabre a remise must be "in time", which means that it must land a tempo ahead of an opponents riposte. This makes a successful remise hard to execute: one must be quick, perceptive to the opponent's action and decisive. Overall, a very good term.
