Someone with extremely long limbs can pick an art that lets them be used to advantage. Judo, or other arts that require one to close with an adversary, would largely negate that advantage.

Someone that large should be careful in an armed society- it can reasonably be argued that someone in an altercation with such a behemoth was indeed "in fear for his life", and so was justified in using potentially lethal force in defense.

Large people are just bigger targets, but don't let 'em hit or grab you. I always like training with much bigger training partners, except when they're sloppy and arrogant. Then I tend to make my application of techniques just a weee bit more painful, in the hope they will learn while they can, in a safe environment.
