The Vitae Vi Virtus Institute
Based in real world martial arts and swordsmanship The Vitae Vi Virtus Institute(VVVI) is based squarely in the real world, yet inspired by the fantasy worlds of the silver screen. From the old Egyptian order of the Djedhi, who believed in knowledge through experience and self-discipline, in the existence of a vital energy, or Life Force, comes a focused VVVI program in which everyone can take part, young, old, experienced or not.

PATH OF THE LASER SWORD
The journey begins in either one of our Youngling Programs, or through our Initium Level. Like any other martial art there will be exercises and ranking tests for all Levels, with certificates of completion for each. With fun martial art forms and exercises, combined with engaging the fantasy of worlds far, far away, your imagination and skills will grow your confidence immeasurably.
- Youngling FTE – Ages 5-8
- Offering five ranks with a unique and specially designed curriculum to give children skills and self-discipline, while also helping them be more focused and confident.
- Youngling NTE – Ages 9-11
- This curriculum is slightly more advanced, with longer mindfulness sessions, more footwork with more emphasis on correct attack and defenses positions.
- The Initium Level
- is where adults begin their journey. Centering forms, basic footwork drills, Initial saber strikes, attack and defense positions along with the weaponless defense techniques, give you the basis for one of the three the paths you choose next.
ELITE INSTRUCTION
