Well in my opinion that would depend on a lot of things.. It doesn't hurt to start now anyway ?

When we just started the dojo our minimum was about 6. We used about because some children of 4/5/6 bloom like a flower in class, while other kids of 7/8 would disappear in the crowd if you know what I mean. It depends on the group, instructor, methods used in class, timetable, frequency, character, motorial development, motivation etc etc.. As you have experience yourself, I guess you are the only one to judge. Nowadays btw, we accept from 6 and above.
