A common adage, Who says that? I've never heard it, nor do I think it holds any validity.

I dont know what to tell you, Nathan Orchard is lanky and he likes Leg Locks, I'm compact and I like D'arc chokes. I think that there are many body types that will help you achieve mastery with submissions faster, see Boogieman Richie and his D'arc/Jap/Mexican/Vice Grip, but you shouldn't let your body define what you do. Big Booty people seem to get good at Kimuras/Americanas pretty naturally because once they pass and get some weight down they can attack an arm.
I would think certain subs would be easier because of thicker legs. I have a buddy that is shorter (5'5") so his legs are shorter. He may have a harder time locking in a triangle choke but holy shit you're tapping right away when he does lock it in.
I would think smashing that booty in someone face during twister side control would be HUGE advantage. Russian Cowboy would be crushing as well. I once saw an instructional from keith Owen on sitting mount that might be worth bringing out of the closet for somebody with some sitting power.
Tits or gtfo.
