Isn't that disadvantage more than compensated for by the longer range you have with longer limbs? And while you can train to extend your limbs faster, you cannot train your limbs to be longer. But I don't know much about martial arts, so please feel free to correct me on this. :)

That comment had me puzzled too.
I have a son that studies Tae Kwan Do. He is not yet as tall as he will be but he does have longer limbs than most of his fellow (Korean background) students.
Speed and accuracy are what the training is for. I have not noted any differentials in either between those who are short and those who are tall.
