Train the way nature intended you to move.

Armatore: Primal Movement Training to Reclaim Joint Resilience and Natural Strength

Start Moving

You weren’t built for chronic pain, joint breakdown, or workouts that leave you sore and sidelined.

You were born to bend, run, lift, climb, and recover—naturally.

Armatore is the evolution of movement, where ancestral wisdom meets modern science to reclaim the way your body was designed to move.

What is Primal or Ancestral Movement Training?

Our method is rooted in restoring primal movement capacity, nervous system regulation, and deep joint resilience. The result? A body that performs better, recovers faster, and endures longer—without breaking down.

You’re not fragile. You’re just untrained in the places that matter most.

Meet the Founder

Joseph Liberatore, Forged in Fire

Joseph’s journey started with overtraining, joint pain, and a broken body from traditional athletics. He rebuilt himself from the ground up, in a gym, to survive the physical demands of combat sports, and through the school of primal movement and evolutionary science. What emerged is Armatore—a method forged through structure, spirit, and relentless curiosity. He’s lived with dysfunction. He’s walked the comeback. And now, he’s teaching others how to rise from the same place with joints that last, energy that doesn’t crash, and strength that’s practical and long lasting.

"If you’re always sore, you’re never ready."

"If your joints ache, you have strength gaps."

"If your body won’t recover, your nervous system is overdrawn."

Joe’s Story

Virtual Training – Joint Armour Online

What It Is

This isn’t a “stretch and feel good for five minutes” program. The Armatore Virtual Training is your hub for lasting resiliency, a place to free yourself from chronic joint weakness, make true anatomical changes to your connective tissues, and restore the confidence to move without fear.

Every session inside the library delivers movement as medicine, designed to make your body less vulnerable to injury during performance and provide a greater sense of ownership over pain free movement. Simply log in, choose your focus area; hip, shoulder, ankle, spine, or more and follow along with short, potent sessions that build a stronger foundation from the inside out.

Why We Offer It

My career, and my calling, was forged in the fire of combating pain and joint weakness. I know what it’s like to run, jump, and move with hesitation because your body doesn’t feel stable. That experience set me on a path to build stronger joints for all with primal movement and joint resilience training.

This library exists to end unnecessary suffering. To put an end to the nagging aches that chip away at your performance and quality of life. I believe movement is nature’s first medicine, a gift meant for everyone, and the Armatore Method is here to make that medicine accessible to all.

Cost

For just $24.99/month, you get unlimited access to Virtual Training. Most videos are 5–15 minutes, packed with proven, science-backed joint training to cover the strength gaps that neither yoga nor traditional strength and conditioning address.

Follow one video a day or more, your time commitment is short, but the return is a newfound strength, adaptability, and range that changes how your body experiences every movement.

Why It’s Different​

Our Virtual Training was built to deliver the most potent joint medicine in the shortest time possible. Each session is clear, concise, and grounded in evolutionary science. I’m with you every step of the way improving your active range of motion, closing strength gaps, and teaching you the forgotten foundations of fitness.

This isn’t a generic exercise database. It’s an education in joint health, your preventative medicine cabinet for reducing the risk of chronic joint disease, inflammation, and premature breakdown. Every video is movement you can feel immediately, and resilience you’ll keep for a lifetime.

What It Is

The Joint Armour Live Online Training is your weekly resilience ritual, two half-hour sessions each week, designed to restore movement as medicine. Every class begins with a short calisthenic warm-up to wake the body, followed by 20 minutes of targeted active mobility training. These sequences are organized to strengthen joint tissues, improve range of motion, and close the “strength gaps” that lead to pain, instability, and early wear and tear. By committing to these sessions, you’re making your joint health a non-negotiable priority, a cornerstone of the way your body was meant to move.

Why We Offer It

Most people have never experienced what it feels like to have truly strong joints. Modern gym culture often focuses on muscle size and cardio endurance while ignoring the connective tissues that hold everything together. The result? Weeks, months, or years into training, pain and immobility creep in.

For decades, the advice was to “leave the joints alone” to keep them healthy. But research and the Armatore Method, prove the opposite: joints break down because they’re undertrained, not overused. By systematically loading and strengthening them, you reclaim the resilience nature intended you to have.

I’ve watched people shed the skin of stiffness and weakness, replacing it with rooted strength, restored range, and pain-free performance. This live platform builds not only stronger bodies but also a community of people committed to long-term vitality. Together, we’re not just training, we’re starting a movement.

Cost

Train live with us 8 times every month for just $99/month.
Two sessions a week. Half an hour each. A lifetime of strength.

Why It’s Different​

This isn’t a typical “workout of the day.” Every session gives you the education and tools to build a strong joint foundation across all major joints. Through a blend of intentional strength work and primal movement training, you’ll target the underserved areas that determine how you move, recover, and perform: hips, shoulders, ankles, and spine. We address the forgotten foundations of fitness, creating a body that resists breakdown, defies early wear, and thrives under both everyday and athletic demands.
