"Tombo" (蜻蛉, dragonfly) translates literally as "victory bug." In feudal Japan, the dragonfly symbolized strength, agility, and protection. It was seen as an auspicious omen because dragonflies were said to not retreat but to only move forward.

The Bujinkan is an international martial arts system developed by Soke (Grandmaster) Masaaki Hatsumi. It is based out of Noda-shi, Chiba, Japan and is comprised of nine distinct martial art schools (ryu-ha) that incorporate both armed and unarmed fighting methods. Budo Taijutsu is the term used to refer to the collective fighting systems of the Bujinkan. Budo Taijutsu incorporates punches, kicks, joint manipulation, throws, and weapons-related techniques.
Although there is always a risk of injury or harm when training in a martial arts system, care is taken in the Bujinkan to minimize the risk of injury during training. At the introductory levels, techniques are practiced slowly and with minimal resistance to develop proper form and application. As a student's skill set grows, more speed and resistance can be added as appropriate.
Students are permitted to join or train at the discretion of the Tombo Bujinkan Dojo and its officers and agents. Training is limited to persons fifteen years of age or older without criminal records and is subject to the Bujinkan Guidelines as issued by the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Japan.
Classes are held at 2246 W. Dublin Granville Road, Columbus, OH (Studio Glow Fitness).
