... Kwan Jang Nim?

You learned... Soo Bahk Do? or Moo Duk Kwan?

I've never even heard of that.

... its... kind of sort of related to Tae Kwon Do, but also has influence from Shotokan Karate and... Taekkyeon?

Oh lordy, the 'family tree' of martial arts just never gets any simpler...

I learned Shito-Ryu... which as far as I can tell, has no Korean influence, but eventually everything goes back to Okinawan Te and Chinese Kung Fu, in some manner or another...

I wonder if we have in common any Katas.

Seienchin, perhaps?

To be honest, it was a local neighborhood place run by a white guy, ostensibly Tae Kwon Do, and we called the main teacher kwanjangnim Joe (though we pronounced it "kwah-ja-nim")
