少年 レスリング 日本 −Kid's Wrestling Japan?

[inoshishi07]

My 11 year-old son (5th Grade) will be in Japan for the summer. He loves wrestling and has been doing it for about 2 years. He's been very successful competing. I know Japan has some world-class freestyle wrestlers and knowing the culture, I'm sure they must be very technical in their instruction. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good kid's program in Chiba or Tokyo? I've seen some links here, but it's hard to know which one is good:

On the other hand if you know a great place for kid's MMA he could try that. He has a shodan in shorin-ryu and orange belt in judo, so he is very focused and serious in spite of his age. He also has pretty good basic Japanese language skills.

If anyone has first hand knowledge about a place that has a good reputation for kids wrestling or MMA, I would be grateful for your advice.

Thanks and yoroshiku, ne!

Are you looking for a referral based on personal experience? Or simply locations?

If not a referral, then it might be easier if you knew where he's going to be, or where is easy for you or him to access.

Most places have a kids class キッズ　レスリング in the morning and/or weekends.

Ideally, I would like a personal referral. Or if there are any kid's programs the the reputation of being more serious, successful tournament performance, etc. Since time is short, I thought focusing only on wrestling would make sense, but if there is a great MMA program, we could try that.

As far as location, he will be in the Chiba area. I found this list of wrestling clubs, many of which are in Chiba and Tokyo:

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for. The Abe brothers are pretty well known out here in SoCal. I'm sure being trained by "Mega Megu" would be a big thrill for him, although his dad may be a little partial to Satoko Shinashi.

Thanks man!
