Pascal Van De Walle started his studies of ju-jitsu in 1974 at the age of 14. Already passionate about martial arts as a child he followed his future brother-in-law Willy De Clercq and joined Haku-Tei Ryu in Massemen and later in Wetteren. His parents were never really supportive of these studies but he continued stubbornly. Fortunately his wife to be and still today has always supported him wholeheartedly even though a lot of his free time is spent at this passtime. He kept stubbornly at it for 36 jears continuing to study Self-defense and Jitsu under his Sensei Jos Burgelman and Georges Verhamme.

When his brother-in-law Willy De Clercq died tragically in a car accident in 1986 he agreed to take over his teaching responibilities in Willy's Jitsu club, part of Kumiuchi Berlare. Despite only being 3rd Kyu he was allowed to start as a teacher under the guidance of his training partner and friend Danny Buysse,

Pascal is now the chief instructor of Tengu Ryu Berlare and also teaches at Yawara Ryu Ghent. Knowing that in order to be a good instructor, one needs to remain a student, Pascal has sought to remain a student among his own students and demands the same of his instructors, Guy Van Geert en Geert Herssens. Belgium is not a country where one can gain a living as a teacher of martial arts. Pascal is of an opinion that money and sports make a bad combination. Jitsu is mentally and physically very difficult and membership should remain available for anyone at a reasonable price. Putting a membership fee unreasonably high will prevent some men or women from developing their hidden talents.

Since 2003, Pascal Van De Walle has joined the Dancollege and promotedto vice-chairman of the Dancollege and of The Higher Council for Ju Jitsu.

Pascal Van De Walle has dedicated his free time to teaching people how to strengthen their minds and body, to develop their confidence through the hardships and philosophies of the martial arts.
