He dissect the attack and thought that his current martial arts was of little use in a real world applications. He thought that  if he knew how to strike, throw, lock and apply other techniques he would be far more equipped to deal with the formless attack of a street scenario.

He focused his attention of gathering a multitude of techniques from various Martial Arts and fighting systems.
A syllabus was created and his method was given a name ('Sun Kune Do' chinese pronunciation which later translated later to 'ShinKenDo'  Japanese pronunciation meaning True/Real Fist Way) Modern Martial Art.
