what is this?

It looks like a hybrid of Hwarang Do, Judo, and Aikido.

This is the site I found.

Yep he is a former WHRDA Master.

Thanks for posting the website. It appears to be an interesting mix of Korean and Japanese martial arts.

I thought the same thing.

I would have to agree

Master Ken Corona received his ranks from WHRDA. I believe this is the new name for his kwan.

I found a reference to Pung Wol Do in this article. Thought some might find it interesting.

What happened to the Hwarang after the fall of the Silla dynasty?
A Hwarang general named Wanggum assumed control of the country and renamed it Koryo. It lasted from 936 to 1392. The Hwarang institution continued but under different titles such as kuk son do and pung wol do. These titles carried the suffix “do,” which means “disciple.” The Korean language has many homophones—words that sound the same [but have] different meanings. This suffix does not mean the same thing as the “do” suffix of taekwondo, hapkido or karate-do. The “do” at the end of those names means “way.”

This is from part one of a three-part interview given by DJN Joo Bang Lee.

pung wol do — Literally “disciple of the wind moon.” This is another term used during the Koryo dynasty to indicate the Hwarang soldier-disciples.
