Kickboxing is a martial art which was made for beating Muay Thai by Japanese boxing promotor Osamu Noguchi in 1950. Opponents are allowed to hit each other with fists and feet, hitting above the hip. Using elbows or knees is forbidden and the use of the shins is seldom allowed (except in Thai boxing, where the knee is also allowed).
Forms of kickboxing include:
- Pradal Serey (Khmer kickboxing) = A predecessor of Muay Thai
- Muay Thai (Thai boxing/kickboxing) = Strong emphasis on knee and elbow strikes
- Savate (French kickboxing) = Allows the use of shoes
- San Shou/Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing) = Takedowns and throws are legal
- Lethwei (Burmese Kickboxing) = Any part of the body may be used to strike and be struck
- Japanese kickboxing = Similar to Muay Thai, but different point system is taken
- Full Contact Karate (American Kickboxing) = Most of the time padding and in some cases body armour is used
- Shoot boxing = A Japanese form of kickboxing which allows throwing and submission while standing similar to San Shou

The Tijuana Cartel is based in one of the most strategically important border towns in Mexico, and continues to export drugs even after being weakened from a brutal internal war during 2009.
Due to infighting, arrests and deaths of some of its top members, the Tijuana Cartel is a shell of what it was in the 1990s and early 2000s when it was considered one of the most potent and violent criminal organizations in Mexico. After the arrest or assassination of its founding members, the Arellano Felix clan, the cartel is now headed by Fernando Sanchez Arellano, a nephew of the Arellano Felix brothers who once bloodied Mexico and southern California with their brutish and authoritarian style. With the powerful Sinaloa Cartel moving into Tijuana in force, Sanchez Arellano is struggling to keep a grip on this lucrative drug and human trafficking corridor.

BCE = Before Common Era.
CE = Common Era.
These two abbreviations have been used as replacements for B.C. and A.D.
CE = Common Era.
These two abbreviations have been used as replacements for B.C. and A.D.
Something I find funny is that while these abbreviations have been chosen as non religious alternatives, one could use the word BCE to mean, Before Christian Era, and CE to mean Christian Era.

Jujitsu is a martial art which reflects the movements of the attacker back upon him or her. It has been practiced in Japan since the sixteenth century, although Jujitsu has its origins in Chinese martial arts. Jujitsu uses a series of joint locks, small weaponry, and defensive tactics in combination with conserved energy to neutralize an attacker. Many other martial arts such as Judo and Aikido have their roots in Jujitsu. The word “Jujitsu” means the practice of gentleness, and in addition to learning the moves associated with Jujitsu, students also make changes in their characters. Jujitsu is supposed to focus and calm the students, with the aim of making them better martial artists and more refined individuals as well. The movements of Jujitsu are efficient, flowing, and circular, and it is a distinctly beautiful martial art to watch. Jujitsu is also usually practiced within a very small circle, and many Jujitsu moves have been refined for close quarters fighting. Jujitsu reached its heyday during the Tokugawa Shogunate, when weapons were forbidden to most Japanese citizens. Jujitsu incorporates joint locking and arresting movements which are extremely useful in hand to hand combat where neither warrior has a weapon. When used correctly, it is also possible to disarm with a joint lock. Grappling, take downs, throws, and strangulation also play a role in Jujitsu.
Most schools of Jujitsu also teach techniques with canes, short swords, and use of ropes. Defensive techniques against modern weapons such as guns are taught as well, with a strong focus on neutralizing an opponent without harming him or her. Some students of Jujitsu also learn healing techniques including massage, while other schools also place a heavy value on the study of spiritual and philosophical concepts. Jujitsu is differentiated from other aggressive martial arts like Karate because it is not an offensive martial art, but a defensive one. Jujitsu students learn the arts of surrender, patience, yielding, and efficiency. Jujitsu is also highly effective, integrating fighting techniques for a variety of situations, with or without weapons. Jujitsu techniques are often taught in self defense classes for women, because it is possible to neutralize an attacker quickly and escape using Jujitsu techniques. In the twentieth century, Jujitsu was brought to the West by a variety of masters, and became a very popular martial art. In 1977, the Ju-Jitsu International Federation was formed, with the idea of organizing and regulating international Jujitsu competitions. In competition, the Federation recognizes two types of entries. The fighting system opposes single members from different teams who spar for points. In the duo system, two athletes from the same team demonstrate defensive techniques on the mat.

When a woman lowers her very large breasts into a guy's (or girl's) face and absolutely smothers them to the point that they cannot breathe. It is one of the greatest pleasures along with facesitting. It's fun when the woman does breath play. For example, the woman smothers the man with her breasts until he squirms, she lets him take a nice big gasp of air, then she lowers herself back onto his face, repeating the process over and over. Another thing that is fucking amazing is when the woman clasps her thighs around the guy's waist, thus body scissoring him, as she breast smothers him.
Shelby wrapped her fit shapely thighs around Jason's waist and lowered her huge juggs into his face and breast smothered him relentlessly. He was totally helpless as he squirmed and struggled under her huge breasts as he was squeezed so tightly between her strong thighs which locked around him like a vice grip.

Deadly Weapons is a movie about a woman who breast smothers men to death. While the acting is very poor, the breast smothering scenes are rather kinky.
