What about guard? My guard arsenal is going to suck pretty bad at 5'7" no?
that's misguided.

one of the guys I train with is about 5'6 and he does fine. I am 6'1" and he triangles me ALL THE TIME.

Also, ever hear of open-guard?

Man, you're just stuck on feeling bad.

I want you to say this every hour on the hour, ten times "I can be great at BJJ, I am a great height"

It's all mental man, you're ruining your own training with your thoughts. Do you have ANY IDEA how many 5'4" WOMEN have triangle, armbar, kimura'd me or whatever else from the guard?
