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
