What shovel really is?
Well actually I am just grabing his leg and lift him until out of the ring, and they said its a shovel. Well as I know shovel is = Lowering both arms in the first move and in the second move raising it and kinda lift them and then bringing the enemy down
well shovel is when you contract the quads muscle and then extend calves

It's when a player has both arms lowered and pecs are usually contracted. It's usually followed by a grab, and raising both arms and extending legs to bring the opposite person into the air. Then usually both arms are lowered slamming you outside of the ring. Most people hate this move because being brought upwards and out of the ring like this has a high losing percentage. You can't move in the direction you want when you are being shoveled and are already in the air, all you can try to do is to pull at his arms and use momentum to get the shoveler's feet in air which will cause you either to:
A) Fly upwards, Shoveler flies upwards, but not as high as you which causes him to dq first.
B) Fly sharply downwards, at an angle allowing your feet to land in ring which will allow you to do a suplex-like move (which is when you pull the opponent over your head, but you fall backwards).

P.S. What Papasmurfa said is also true

A shovel is a move where you lower arms first turn like you said, however some people will call a regular lift a shovel.

By the way, lifting is still not considered a fair move in aikido, along with leg grabbing and pushing. (which is what you said you did)

Well in real aikido, aikido is a counter playing not kicking like people usually did
