Use 「シャットアウト」 for shutting outsiders out, or in sports for a win in which the opponent fails to score, as in 「部外者をシャットアウト」 and 「シャットアウト勝ち」. For squeezing people out of a circle or a market, pick 「締め出す」; for clearing away obstacles or unwanted people and things, pick 「排除」. Beyond those, choose by nuance: 「阻む」 blocks a move, 「除く」 leaves something out, 「切り捨てる」 discards, 「遮断」 cuts a flow, and 「排斥」 is a heavier, written rejection.
