As a student of Maestro Gaugler and now instructor of fencing the term
"central invitation" gives me pause. It has always been On guard with
the weapon in central position so that it menaces the adversary (arm
well extended, elbow in to protect the target, etc.) Invitations open a
line so that the adversary is induced to attack in that specific line.
Central position is not an invitation even if the adversary is able to
execute an action on the blade. Of course, this differs from a blade in
line, which can be considered to invite the adversary to execute an
action on the blade)
