So how to you account for the Korean being on the US team last 13WKC? A fluke? Because Korea doesn't have the rich tradition of kendo like Japan. His father probably wasn't a sensei, and wouldn't have gone to Japan. I could be wrong on this, but I think it proves the point.

I think you are wrong. Korea has lots of kendo/kumdo. They won the 13th WKC.

And how do you account for Japanese team losing to US team while the Japanese team has probably more of influence from heritage? I know it is one incident to happen, but you can't argue that majority of success is based purely on heritage factor. Who said that it was based "purely on heritage"? I think Neil had some really valid points.
