As a side note, KKA website (kumdo.org) is reporting that IKF (not the newer & competing WKA) has joined GAISF during GAISF meeting in Seoul on April 7, 2006. This is the first step in becoming an Olympic event, although it sounds like IKF's first goal is to be included in the Universiad Games, not the Olympics. IKF also officially requested GAISF for help in widening membership. I am thinking that the top 3 list in 5-10 years may not even include Japan, Korea or Taiwan.

If you can read Korean, the article is at http://www.kumdo.org/news/read.php?no=420&p=2
