    As a high school fighter standing at 193 cm tall and 77 kg, I always find it nice that I started my combat sports with wrestling in junior high and continue it in highs school. After being taught how to use my extra long limbs for striking, it's always nice to be able to go back to grappling if an opponent gets too close

And I’ve always wanted to tell you this: even though you lost the Van Roosmalen fight, you showed the heart of a lion during it. The courage it took to stay in there as long as you did against that gorilla was just off the charts. No one could ever question your heart after that war.

    The correct answer if you are a tall and lean guy is to simply show up to beginner classes and let your ego flourish. Maybe being taller isn't as insurmountable an advantage between two skilled opponents with a height difference, but amongst beginners it makes you nearly bulletproof.

    Reach is definitely an adavantage. I find it funny that some people think the clinch favors the tall man. I guess in some instances it does favour the knees of a tall man but a good clincher can just as easily neutralize a tall mans clinch and dump him easier.

His shorter opponent kept trying to close the distance, but got punished with hooks every time. It turned into a one sided fight, even though according to resumes it should have been a pretty even match. Thanks! I would love to see more on creating angles as a taller fighter. I have a good gas tank and quickness, but trouble figuring out the footwork for creating angles in my combinations.
