The design for  the organization's logo was deliberately chosen because of its symbolic meaning.  The founder has chosen the three symbols of the circle, square and triangle to  appropriately explain Aikido. The circle, which is seen in Nature so often and  in our training, signifies unification, the circular form in our tumbling and  infinity. The square represents solidity and stability. The triangle symbolizes  Ki flow and also the trilogy of the mind, body and spirit. The Kanji "Chushin"  translated means center. The Asian gate is known as the friendship gate.
