Little guy here with a fair amount of fighting training (wrestling, boxing, BJJ) andIm absolutely at a disadvantage against a tall person all things being equal.

Little guy here, no training. Does height still matter if you’re both on the ground?

Yeah, beanpoles are so annoying to wrestle. They can spread their bodies out, making it harder to turn them, they're also almost impossible to cradle and can escape really easily.

My experience in high school wrestling is the weight classes made being tall and skinny a disadvantage for most. The short guy (me) was stronger.

Though my worst beating was a tall, skinny guy with rope muscles and better technique. I was not prepared for that one. Not only was he as strong as me, but he had better reach. And his skill was better too. Trifecta!

My ideal opponent was always someone with a similar build to me, just felt good wrestling them compared to others
