Rear nake choke escapes | Hapkido 101.
It is true that practicing your Martial Arts basics over and over will help develop strong technique and good skill. But rehearsing isolated self defense techniques only takes you so far.
The reality is… your ability to combine them into functional combinations increases success in real-time applications.
It’s like working towards being able to spar in Boxing, and constantly practicing jabs on a heavy bag. Yes, it’s a solid technique to build on… but without practicing good footwork, combinations, or even timing and distancing drills you’ll gain very little towards being able to spar better.
The same applies in Hapkido. You start with the fundamental skills to develop good basics. But these skills by themselves are not the end-all of your training ;)

How can a short person succeed against a tall person in sparring, tournaments or street self defense

It really comes down to context, and what skill sets you are really competent with. When striking, for example, you want to try and attack from angles rather than head on.
Use attacks (like leg kicks) to the lower part of the body to open them up. If they have a longer reach you should attack head on.
There is no single technique or approach but rather training a coheasive game plan :)
