I'm a pretty big guy. The beginners class that I'm in goes up
to blue belt. It seems so far, that none of the higher ranked
belts of a definite smaller size would be able to do much damage
to me. I know that anyone can poke an eye, or attack
unexpectedly, but that aside, they couldn't successfully put me
in a wrist lock, bear hug, full nelson, headlock, pin or check my
knee or leg. Even most of their strikes don't effect me too much.
There are other guys that are big, yet smaller than me that can
do this stuff, so it's easy to see that bigger does NOT mean
better, or indestructable or anything remotely like that. But
when there's a situation bordering on a drastic height and
weight difference, it's a definite factor. If y'all feel that a skilled,
yet small black belt would effectively take me out ... at what
point would that happen, do you think? Like a small kenpoist
versus a big guy, not studying any art? How about a small
kenpoist, taking on a big guy of a low rank?
