Wrist out turn. In Kotegaeshi, most people tend to think that the wrist is the main part but it is not. The main part really is getting uke off balance to the left and locking their hips so they have to fall.
Dojo. It is very important to respect not only your teachers and fellow students, but your dojo. Some schools will have you bow in and on/off the mat to show respect to your dojo. It is also very inportant that (for Aikido) you do not wear your shoes on the mat. Doing so could not only make that mat unclean it could damage it. You should also tell your instructor immediately if the mat is damaged in any way because a damaged mat is unsafe.
Hikiotoshi. Hikiotoshi is a floating technique and is very hard to learn. Your timing must be very precise and your movements fluid.
Shomenate. On Shomenate, you come in to the inside and throw uke over their heels. It can be very hard to learn but is very powerful once learned well.

Morohei Ueshiba. Ueshiba was said to have come up with the current name for Aikido after a spiritual enlightenment. That does not, however, mean that all aikidoka's are spiritual. It just explains why Aikido is a more flowing, and gentle art.
Dai san kata. Daisan kata contains moves where both uke and tori are unarmed, some where uke is armed with a tanto, some where uke is armed with a jo and finally a bokken.
