I'm 5'3". What are my options as far as styles and technique? I would like to think that I can apply almost any style well with a lot of hard work and dedication.


I'm 175 lb, I think at least 140 of those pounds is athletic weight. Given my stature, if I'd really want to compete, I may want to make my way down to 140 or less eh?

What are my advantages and disadvantage against a taller fighter of equal skill?

I'm going to be honest with you. No way can you fight at 140 at 5' 3". That's fly or bantam type height.
Okay. I have an idea why, but what are the reasons?
Two questions before I answer that. How old are you and what is your reach? From inside the arm pit to the end of your fist?
