In 1912 he went to England where he was a self-defence instructor for detectives at Scotland Yard. After World War I broke out he was interned as an "enemy alien" with other German citizens. During these years he started to develop his method and train other internees. Joe attached springs to hospital beds to enable bedridden patients exercising against resistance. This later lead to designing other equipment.
