Some early photo's of Master Chris Davies, his twin brother Master Andy Davies and Master Dung Levan. All three had the same instructor and hailed from the same club which was situated on Blackboy Hill, Clifton, Bristol.

The left picture was used by Combat magazine for advertising purposes on several occasions for a number of years, both are touched up scans of the actual pictures from Combat Magazine. The pictures were taken around 1981 when Master's C and A Davies were only 2nd Dan's and Master D levan was 1st Dan.

The club where they learnt had about 20 members, as a thought how many other clubs of such a small number have had 3 of their members go on to reach 6th Dan?
