Grand Master De Alba has developed the martial art of De Alba System of Modern Farang Mu Sul®. This roughly translates as "The Fighting Art of the Modern Warrior". Modern Farang Mu Sul® is an amalgamation of various arts in Grand Masters' repertoire, but traces it's main roots to four versions of "Classical Hwarangdo". The term Farang is also known as Hwarang, Wharang, and other names, but regardless of the spelling, it refers to a famous warrior scholar group from ancient Korea. Some of the main distinguishing aspects of Modern Farang Mu Sul® are it's focus on practical self defense and it's progressive approach to improvement of the art and the individual student.
