The techniques of Aikido are characterised by circular and spiral movements. The triple spiral motif of the dojo is taken from Celtic stone carvings found at Newgrange in Ireland. Celtic spiral designs have been found all over Europe, from Ireland to Greece, and are believed to variously represent growth, expanding energy and the sun. The triple spiral motif is thought to represent the Celtic cycle of life, death and rebirth.

Our logo is inspired by that of the North London Aikido Dojo.
