Does anyone know a good place that offers karate classes for very young (3 year old) children in Tokyo?
Thanks, Milan

I was looking for judo classes for my 4 year old daughter and found this:
judo: Kodokan at Korakuen (close to Tokyo Big Dome) has an English web-site
http://www.kodokan.org/
but unfortunately classes only start with 6 year olds. I sent the webmaster an email asking about classes for younger children in other places... but I doubt I'll get an answer that way. I'll probably have to truck on down there and stumble around language-wise for an hour before getting anything I can use.

Here are other martial arts headquarters.
International Budo University
841 Shinkan, Katsuura City, Chiba-ken
Tel: 0470-73-4111
Nearest train: Katsuura station on the Sotobo line.
http://www.budo-u.ac.jp
Aikikai Foundation, Aikido World Headquarters
17-18 Wakamatsucho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo
Tel: 03-3202-9236
Nearest train: Wakamatsu-Kawada station on the Oedo subway line. http://www.aikikai.or.jp (has an English section)

Gold's Gym (http://goldsgym.jp/e/annex.html)

Does anyone know of English speaking martial arts classes for 3 year olds in Minato-Ku, Shibuya-Ku or Shinagawa-ku area, or a little further out if the classes were on a Saturday.
