There is only one governing organization in the world for the martial arts of De Alba System - Modern Farang Mu Sul®. Only the International De Alba System Confederation (I.D.S.C.) - Modern Farang Mu Sul® International certifies and accredits all legitimate Modern Farang Mu Sul® Academies, Clubs and issues official Rank for student color belts and black belt instructors.
The purpose of the following lists is to identify all authentic and officially certified instructors of the art of Modern Farang Mu Sul®. They also serve to identify individuals who have left our organization, and any true rank they may have received. Anyone claiming to be an instructor or to possess rank in the art of De Alba System - Modern Farang Mu Sul® will be found on these lists. If they do not, their claims are false and are defrauding the public. Please contact us with questions on any individual claiming instructor or rank certification in the art of De Alba System - Modern Farang Mu Sul®. Thank You.
