It does. If you’re fighting an opponent who is taller than you, you’ll quickly realise a few things when you spar or fight against them, provided you’re not used to taller opponents:
- It’s harder to hit your opponent’s face
- You have look upwards as opposed to straight ahead
- Your reach may not cut it
- Their reach may be longer than yours
- Size, weight, and height matter in martial arts. The degree to how extreme relies on how experienced and skilled you and your opponent are, as well as your speeds and strengths.
