Your elbows stay close to the body, giving a relative rotation from shoulder to elbow of roughly 6" (dependant on body size, of course). The parts providing power are hips, forearms, and the clubs rotation in the hand. Given that a double weapon such as the quarter staff does require a longer arm reach to maintain stability, the distances would be comparable for those of a smaller creature.Also remember that boxers and wrestles have weight divisions based on specific rules. Boxers and wrestlers are routinely beaten in fights by smaller opponents who don't follow those rules.Side note: Brazilian Jujitsu, while a very nasty and effective grappling style, does not follow the rules of wrestling.But these digress from the main point:How is a small quarterstaff different form a medium baton?How is a small great club different from a medium club?How is a small shortsword diferent from a stilletto, and why are those able to use a dagger also able to use a stilletto?(piercing and slashing vs piercing) Why is a human using a Two handed sword built for a large race taking penalties comparable to the same human using a small shortsword?</blockquote>
