I am 5'7 and I weight 185. my legs are quite short( but still proportionate to my body). I found out that my range for leg kicks is short because I can never reach there leg with my shin, only my instep and that is not effective. However I can kick to my Sparing partiners body when we are both in punching range. Any Pointers?
