How Tall Are You?

[ChrisWTK]

I'm only 5'2''.
When practicing my moves it's easy to see that doing them on a person who's around the same height as me, the moves work out as they're supposed to. But when I've done them on much taller people, well average males, I've had to modify the moves slightly to get the same effect that I want. It doesn't make sense to make a strike to the throat if you can't really reach it, get him to bend down first then strike him there.

This poll doesn't have enough options.

I'm short - 5 feet tall. And I use an equally short sword: 25.5" blade, as opposed to the ~28" blade most everyone else in the dojo uses.

Eleven foot seven inches exactly when at a recent Metallica concert I was on someones shoulders... I think he was 5' 11" but he is fond of his 1 inch sole DM boots and I distinctly felt those half inch shoulder pads going on too.

I found I weighed nothing at all on a recent daytrip to Jupiter and upon landing and going through the Jupiterian immigration policy of standing on the scales.. I found I weighed in at 270 lbs with nothing to declare .. go figure.

...sorry was this a serious question?
