"Et la" is french for "...and there!", as we might say in english, "Whomp! There it is!"
Does this help?

Hello,
A friend and I (both of who fenced a bit in high school and college)
were wondering about this expression we used to hear people say when
they hit. It was "et la" or perhaps "he la." Are any of you familiar
with this expression, and if so do you know what spelling is correct?
Max
