I had mentioned in many other post regarding size, you study MA to learn how to fight and/or defend, so size should not be an issue. The one with the greater speed a reflex has the greater chance of winning.
Size will always matter. Strength matters, reach matters, weight matters. The idea of training is to counter those advantages with skill. If I'm up against someone my size, any advantage in skill tips the scales my way. If the other guy is 4" taller and significantly stronger, I need a LOT of skill to overcome his advantages.
