I'm a 5'6" guy. I think short people have to work a bit harder at kendo. If you're tall, your reach is very good and I think you can hit men easier than shorter people. So, sure, size doesn't matter in a match, skill does, but I think a short person needs more skill when going against taller people just to compensate for the height difference.

Im the smallest of my dojo and only female.

Im 5'2, 9 stone lol

Hmm...are British bathroom scales set to read out in stones? I'm honestly curious.

Hank.
