You do not seem to understand that yes,in combat sports,size des matter and that there are weight divisions.But this is only because these fights are in a controlled atmosphere,with a soft surface,a ring,and many many rules.It is not the real thng and of course size will make a difference there.
But there are no rules in a street fight and it comes down to who is the better fighter,not the size of his biceps.
Mind you,there are martial arts out there that do favour big,physically strong people,but they are useless.If an art relies upon brute strength and extra aggression,listen to my advice...forget it!
Because if you are injured,tired,sick or confused,you are in trouble.
