lol i agree with cula. but really, a shovel is about the equivalent of a noobclap in instagib hands. its annoying as crap, but you can avoid it. no need to complain. :3
edit: btw, nuthug is pro.
I agree with nuthug, and if I fail blocking a kick I blame myself. Not the one kicking. But I understand the point of the thread. I also had problems with kicks before.
Here is a tip
*You do a noob clap opener (just for an example, do whatever opener you want)
*Guy is kicking with right leg
Now, right rotate chest, extend right pec, raise right shoulder, extend right elbow, contract right wrist.
Do something like that and the kick will fail.
For me, this is what a loser says always when he lost. If u are a good player, even when some1 uses the showel, u should be able to block it and counterattack.

For me, I am best in aikido, and my opening moves are kick-based, with this i can DQ the opponent inside or outside of ring, it depends from the circunstances of the fight.

:X Didn't play since a good while ago aikido.
I used to kick though.
Like :

Grab whit left arm and do a side kick whit the right leg, flipping the opponent (happen once to me)


I don't think it's nubish.Overused, sure, since it's a pretty effective move, you can hardly block it when you get grabbed by a hand.

It's extremely easy to counter a kick in Aikido, just grab your opponent's kicking leg.
And grab his/her arm with the other arm, then he/she's pretty fucked.

A kick move is sometimes effective, but it's easily counterable, because your leg will be an easy target for grabbing.

Grabbing it can work, but it can also break your hand. Sometimes the easiest method is to twist your body and relax your limbs so that you diffuse most of the kick's energy. You can still grab under their center of gravity or shoot for a DM that way, and you'll be less likely to snap your wrist off.

Most of the basic moves in aikido have a variety of counters. Sometimes it comes down to the finest details of the fight to determine if a kick DMs or sends your ass in the air.

Well it's useless. I never got the idea of kicking your enemy in the beginning unless you are aiming for a point win which is rather unlikely in normal Aikido.
The only advantage would be getting your leg forward but if you don't extend your hip on the second turn to add some power to your push/lift it has no effect at all.
Oblivion: that wasn't hilarious
Oblivion: it was brilliantly complex though
Oblivion: hands down man
