The director of a Fencing bout will issue the command to "Fence" to begin a bout or a touch within the bout. The single word "Fence" is all they need say. However, some referees in the United States and all referees in international competitions will use French, the official international language of fencing when directing a bout. Instead of saying "Fence", therefore, they will say "Allez", pronounced "Ah-Ley".
