It's considered polite to acknowledge hits you take, but if there's a judge
watching the bout, it's more common to wait for the judge to decide if the
hit was legitimate.  Electronic scoring is used for tournaments, which
further reduces the need to acknowledge you were touched.

I really need to find the time to start fencing again.
