Being tall doesn’t just come with all of its advantages in your personal and professional life. Sometimes, as taller people, you also need to put a lot of thought into the activities and sports you do. In terms of martial arts, you might be wondering what is the best martial art for you<\/a> to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a definite answer to this question, and in my experience, Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo are the four best martial arts that tall people can do. From the list, I am sure that you can tell that all of these martial arts take advantage of the longer reach that being tall affords you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is more to it than just the reach advantage that you get from being taller. In this article, we will break down why each of these martial arts is best for taller people. So, for everything you need to know, keep reading, and we will answer all of your questions in the article below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know that people tend to ask these kinds of questions a lot. After all, we tend to want to do something that is best suited for our needs, and with tall people, I fully understand why you would want to pick the martial art that is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, we decided to make a top 4 list of best martial arts for you to do as a tall person. One thing that I would like to note about the list is, it is in no particular order, although I do recommend choosing between either boxing or taekwondo if you are taller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, so let’s get into our top 4 best martial arts for tall people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I want you to think, just for a second, what would gain the most advantage from you being taller than your opponent? Just before you start thinking, I am going to give you the answer. It is your reach that will be the biggest advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of the reach advantage that you get from being taller, boxing is the perfect martial art or combat sport for you to do. The longer arms will help you not only in your training and sparring but it will also help you if you decide that you want to start having a few fights in the ring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One important thing that I would like to note is, just because you are taller and you have that reach advantage, it does not mean that a short person can’t get in at you. Oftentimes, you will find that shorter opponents have more striking power than their taller counterparts. Let’s not forget what Smoking Joe Frazier once did to the great Muhammad Ali even though Fraser was a lot shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And on that note, let us not forget what Mike Tyson, who, at 1.78m was shorter than most of his opponents, was able to do to those opponents. In general, taller people seem to always have an advantage in the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you go to boxing classes, you will train with people of all sizes and weights, but the minute you start stepping into the ring to Spar, you will normally Spar with people in your weight division. Sparring doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get ready for a fight; it just means that you are going to put your skills to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, here is a table of all the weight classes within amateur boxing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Martial Arts For Tall People: Top 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
