They should just focus on staying balanced and making your opponent lose their balance and make them dq.
I have seen a lot of guys constantly trying to dismember kick their opponents.
When they don't get the dismemberment and their arms have been lowered 7/10 times they raise their arms and just lift you out of the ring.
Yeah, you should still try and get dismembers if your in the position for one but don't constantly try or that will probably result in your losing the game, but the way your making it sound is you're not supposed to try to dismember your opponent what so ever, which is completely wrong unless that's the way you want to play.
In my opinion raising your shoulder and lifting your opponent out of the ring isn't the way to go, it could cause arguments because of these moves named "Shovels" "lifts" So in my Opinion you should avoid doing that, but if there not playing fair what so ever you can do what ever type of move you want.
Not saying you can't do any move you want it's just better not to shovel or lift, most people would prefer you didn't.
Hopefully these tips have helped and you can get better at aikido.
