Why in case of a stab (especially if the person stabbed is significantly tall) - its the belly which usually gets wounded?

I (21f) am a pretty short (5’2") fencer (HEMA, rapier), and I often get advice to target a tall opponent’s belly with my rapier. Also I’ve attended a self-defense class, and the instructor gave me advice to go for the abdomen of a tall attacker, if I have a pocket knife in my hand.

    Fucking hell we’re back to this shit? This is the worst Lemmy meme by far, I’d rather someone bring back the moths, or the beans, or the moths that bark at you and shoot beans out of their mouths
