Master Klacko launched his martial arts career in 1986 when he began training in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan under Master Charette in Scranton, PA. In 1991, he joined the World Tang Soo Do Association under the leadership of Grandmaster Jae C. Shin where he achieved the rank of 3rd Degree Black Belt. In 2003, he received the prestigious rank of Master from Grandmaster Richard Byrne of the American Tang Soo Do Association. He currently holds the rank of 7th degree Black Belt with the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Federation.

Master Klacko believes the greatest reward for an instructor is to visualize the positive impact martial arts has on the students’ lives, and the knowledge that by passing on the philosophies of Korean Martial Arts, he has contributed to the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of those students. Outside of the martial arts, Master Klacko is a business leader and entrepreneur, having co-founded 3 high-tech companies in Boston, MA.
