Martial Artists! Difference fighting people larger/smaller than you?
post #1

How do you have to adjust yourself in fighting larger or smaller opponents? I want to get into Tae Kwan Do and have asked but those who I've asked act oblivious to height as if it doesn't matter. I can't imagine it does.

I havnt had the most issues with people taller than me, since im a fair amount stronger than the average male, and i've done gymnastics for many years when i was young, so my balance is on point, thus im impossible to lay down.

The only difference is when he is much heavier than i am.

Currently im 155 lbs, and only have trouble when fighting one of my friends at 265lbs.

If they however work out its a different story.

My advice, do fitness to compensate for your lack of height. 

 

Height have advantages and disadvantages in fights, you just have to learn them smile

It's "just a few" who think this way.

Go figure...

5'7 guy does an elevator shoes experiment and notices differences in treatment

He notices people treating him more positively and not being so standoffish.

He then says after initial contacts, his "new height" didn't help or hurt him in developing relationships.

I'd say that he means well, but is downplaying how important "getting your foot in the door" is.

Her followers think she deserves an 18 inch height difference

She thinks it's ridiculous, but her followers in the comments insist she reconsider.

Go figure...
