That's for sure. I am 6'2" and many of my students are much shorter and smaller than I.

(I often spend time demonstrating technique from Hanmi handachi)

The principles remain constant in Aikido. Waza is expressed differently by different people because of size, psychology, and mentality.

But the principles remain the same.
