also, what weight class would you recommend for someone my height & reach?
Don't mean to ruin things here but the weight class has nothing to do with your reach or height...it's your weight, hence "weight class".

Also, just do what you want to do and make the best of it. Don't let it affect you. I wouldn't necessarily practice something that is 100% arms like boxing but I wouldn't let it force you into something you don't want to do. Try out different styles and see which one best suits you.
