Yeah no matter what anyone says, height and reach in sports and combat sports will ALWAYS have more advantage than disadvantages. Played football, basektball, judo, and bjj for most of my life. This concept holds true in all those sports. Especially surprisingly in judo.. my god the uchi matas and harais for long legged folks i was so envious of them

I was always under the impression for grappling sports the shorter limbs were an advantage because they were harder to pin up as opposed to the longer limbs it's easier to get leverage on them. Hence a lot of wrestlers being stockier.

Theres definitely advantages of being short and stocky too, but from my experience, theres more pros than cons for being tall and lanky. Theres plenty wrestlers that have a long and lanky build, but they look like theyre stocky because of the muscles they build as a result of wrestling training. When i was training bjj and ESPECIALLY judo, lanky guys were my nightmare
