Avererage, maybe? This is a loaded question and can be asked of almost any MA as there are many factors to answer your question. Weight classes make the matches more fair for sure, if you are interested in sport.

Size and weight are always a factor, but before write a lot what is the question, should you take judo?

Assuming you practice at a good dojo you should be able to make strategy from all shortcommings. 5'9" is not short, much shorter MAist have been very successful.

I know this is not much help, but I need more information (in/out of shape age, etc.)
