How about both?

My coach was all about traditions and respecting your opponent, the judges, director, etc... He pretty much said to salute before, after, and at La Belle. Hand shakes were for after the salute at the end. It was something he made sure to put an emphasis on once the class started bouting.

You would do that for me? I would be so grateful.

We have joked about this in our club. Many of the married/attached members are restricted by their SOs to a limited number of nights a week we can fence or number of times a year we can travel to a tournament. We have suggested that we should get our respective spouses together so they can go off and have fun of their own and don't feel we (fencers) are slighting them in the fun department.
