Phil, is that a trick of the light or is everyone else in the group REALLY tall?

The "trick" is not to judge a man by his physical stature.

No that's true, but I had an image of Phil as at least "average" height - that might still be the case but his peers are "above average" height.

Anyway, I still think it is advantageous to have height and reach advantage, even if Wing Chun is best at in-fighting range. To be able to keep your opponent at your hitting range whilst being outside of his? I would prefer to be of average height than my below average, but hey I've got to work with what I;ve got.

He heh heh. This reminds me of my 6th birthday. When I blew out my candles I made a wish that I would become a dalmatian. Guess what happened.
