Norman Charles, one of DG Doce Pares' hardest hitters in the heavyweight dvision, had two fights that day, first against Damien Mills from JKD Northampton, in which Norman won the match. The next bout was against Stewart Husband from Kapatiran Arnis who was tenderised and smashed in a fight which ended up with a third round. Norman won Silver.

Finally, Ermar Alexander, who has been waiting for this day since the last tournament in 2006, was looking forward to defend his three British titles which he won in 2004, 2005 and 2006. (There was no championship held in 2007). Alex fought JKD Northampton's head instructor Roger Barnes who is European WEKAF Champion. After a few welts and bloodshed, an effect of Alex's powerful strikes, Alex successfully defended his title and is now 4x undefeated British Low Armour Champion.
