Cliff “Magic” Thomas • Highlight

7-Time World Champion Kickboxer PKA/KICK
Cliff “Magic” Thomas was born with a hole in his heart the size of a silver dollar. His parents were informed after an operation that left him with 142 stitches across his chest in the form of a cross that if they were careful with the lad he might live to age twelve.
Still alive, Cliff decided he would try karate in 1972. He was only fourteen and didn’t have the money for lessons.Trainer Robert Nava let him clean the gym and do other errands to pay for his training. Four years later, in 1976, Cliff earned his Black Belt. He was soon winning trophies at non-full-contact karate events and longed for full contact kickboxing. Training with Demitrius Havanas paved the way for Cliff in PKA
He would prove to be one of the greatest kickboxer of the world by the time he was forty five years of age. Along the way he won seven world championships in five different weight divisions.
Cliff “Magic” Thomas has never been officially knocked out or knocked down.
Fight record: 69 Wins, 5 Losses, 1 Draw

Got my brown belt from him at his gym next to the Arby's on Mesa St in El Paso. Great teacher and baddest man in the 915 back then.

[@harrisdupree3323]

Traditional Kickboxing was so much more exciting and explosive than MMA. Demetrius Havanas, Billye Jackson, Ray McCallum, Cliff Thomas, Ishmael Robles, Troy Dorsey, Mike Hughes, Santae Wilson, Freddie Braziel, Guy Mezger.. NOBODY produced more Kickboxing world/U.S or state champions and top ranked fighters in the late 70's, 80's and 90's than TEXAS!

[@Rico-ow3ys]

Agreed.
