Visited Prof. Frankl's (http://cafe.daum.net/jfbjj) academy during my holiday trip to Seoul and experienced rapid growth of BJJ and MMA in Korea, compared with my first visit to the academy in May 2007. They are also extremely nice fellows and everyone accepted me as a long time friend!
BJJ and MMA is really popular over here and TV shows PRIDE, K-1 and UFC everyday! There are now many gyms with BJJ black belts, Kick boxing champions and famous wrestlers just like Japan. Number of student at each class is over 20! However, I'm experiencing a hard time to get over the coldness over here... Its negative 10 degree, freezing (Guys wear socks to train)....
I have added a few pics in the following link:
