A fleche in Fencing is an offensive move involving the propulsion to the opponent, using the back leg while the arm is extended towards the target. The "flecher" does this in hopes of surprising his opponent. The fleche is ended when the "flecher" passes his opponent. In other words, a fleche is done on the run.
This move is most commonly done in epee. In foil it is quite rare. Sabres never do it (it is illegal to cross legs in sabre).
1. "Flecher" extends arm, puts point on target.
2. "Flecher" pushes off his back foot towards the opponent.
3. "Flecher" hits his opponent (hopefully).
4. "Flecher" runs past his opponent, off the strip.
5. Director calls halt, point is awarded to "flecher".
This is a risky move. It is sometimes predictable, and is easily combated by stepping aside, narrowing your body, or ducking while keeping the point on target.
