Kevin,
Hey, welcome to Aikiweb! There's lots of stuff posted here demonstrating the positives of your build. At 5'11", there are more times than not when I wish I could lose at least 6 inches from my height. I have never wished to be taller, which in this case is worth saying. When I need to get low to stretch someone out (and off their balance), I have to go that much lower. I may even be so reckless as to say you have the perfect height for Aikido. Naturally there is "no such thing as the perfect" anything for aikido, cuz it's for everyone, but perhaps you know what I mean. Enjoy!
