Translate Fencing Terminology and Club Etiquette for Your First Lesson

Someone shouts 'pret' and you freeze because nobody explained what that means before the mask went on. This is for anyone booked onto a beginner fencing taster who would rather arrive knowing the basics than guess from context. You get the scoring rules, the commands translated, and the etiquette that stops you looking lost in the first five minutes.
