agility.

I'd say being taller can work for and against you, although there's not much in it.

Have longer limbs makes it easier to control your opponent and apply submissions, i.e. guard, triangles, kimuras. But its also easier for your opponent to get a submission. And taller people tend to have nice long chokable necks ;-)

Definitely skill, i think Royce Gracie showed us that skill in the techniques of ju jitsu can make the difference between pulling off
a technique, or simply getting ur ass kicked...ju jitsu itself demands the correct application of moves which would otherwise be weak and futile.

Btw...why do you guys think that traditional jj only has the static reverse punch? they never use a lunge punch?
