What do us little guys have going for us

You can throw people more easily, but only if you have a good bit of strength to begin with and can handle the momentum of a 200+lb man moving on your back/hip.

Beyond that... Nope, not much of an advantage to be shorter than people.

You talking about hobbits?

I dont know about you guys, but I have my good looks and charm. Seems to work just fine.

In my humble opinion, I think that constantly being crushed and put into terrible positions all the time develops our bottom and escaping game exponentially. It's not exactly a physiological advantage, but I feel like it is a great tool that is sometimes unique to the smaller guys.

agreed. at 5'8 195 and someone who was just barely big enough to consistently get put in the big boys group 220-300lbs, getting caught underneath sucks.

to the OP, advantage in being smaller is being forced to develop good tech, even though it may take longer to see the goods.

I tried this once when I grappled with a female...it didn't work so well as she attacked me. Maybe my "Hey there, they call me Arte Suave on the mat." line before the slap/bump/wink did little to woo her.
