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.
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.
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.
