I stand 152 cm / 5 foot tall and in my (admittedly limited) experience I find that being short is certainly an advantage. For one thing it means you have less distance to fall . For another as my centre is generally below my partner's I seem to find my stance more stable.
One might even say that Aikido is a martial art created by short people for short people ... and those of us over 175cm are infinitely jealous

Luckily I have some tall instructors <grin>
