Oh, that makes sense. We are not kukkiwon which is probably why I havent heard of that before.
You would have Kwan roots, even you your club does not follow Kukkiwon.
The designation of terms like Yudanja, Kodanja and Sabum have their roots in Japanese Karate (in Japanese terms meaning the same thing) and were also in use during the Kwan period way before Kukkiwon existed, it's not exclusive to Kukkiwon.
Actually not much is exclusive to Kukkiwon, Kukkiwon became a sort of archive of information and knowledge, which is what it bases it's World Taekwondo Academy on. Kukkiwon did not create the forms, or most of the curriculum it endorses.
