15cms is a LOT!! That's 6 inches, like that crazy+6 from the old forum. Could you post a picture of your proportions?
I'm going to lengthen half that amount and it's still quite a lot.
Quote from: Uppland on August 16, 2015, 09:45:15 PMYes to an extent perhaps, but remember that the muscle cells will only increase in size not in numbers. Your strength might increase but your muscles will always be too small for your skeleton, a taller man would have longer muscles to match the longer bone.
If you lengthen too far beyond your natural state there will be no complete recovery more or less by definition.

How much would be considered beyond your natural state?

Femur more than where tibia femur ratio is very small like less than .68 so like a 10cm femoral lengthening
Tibia more than Achilles allowed so like a 8cm tibia lengthening
Basically anything that makes you look like dwarf on stilts where it clearly is so freaky is probably too much and don't expect to have same biomechanics as pre LL

My femur was extremely short in the first place, reason for getting LL in fact so I think in terms of biomechanics there should be no issues but combat sports would probably need at least 2 years post LL for commencement.
Quote from: KiloKAHN on August 16, 2015, 09:53:06 PMI'm looking to get back into combat sambo. Did a lot of it in high school along with judo and wrestling. I think I'll be able to get back into it in due time, although it's going to be a lot more difficult to have a solid takedown defense than before due to the higher center of gravity and less explosiveness.
Hi Kilo.
Did you ever try that combat sambo since then? Curious if it went okay long after LL and if it was even decent or just horrible in regards to martial arts post-LL. About 6-7 years post LL now.
Thanks Kilo
I think Brazillian Jiujitsu would be the best option, because you can just fight from the ground where it requires no balance on your feet.
Yes, agreed.
Taekowndo is awesome for those with longe legs, but it needs balance af, and there's a lot of impact. If you overcome all the complications, taekowndo is sick

Even for long-legged people, it isn't very practical and effective. There is a reason why you don't see any Taekwondo fighters in MMA, let alone in street fight.

This. I studied taekwondo for a few years myself and it is useless especially the WTF version. You need a lot of space that you don't have in the boxing ring.

True, jiu-jitsu is one of the best. I thought the question was about just as an sport, but for self defence, box and jiu-jitsu are awesome
