Bowing after a knockdown is the most respectful disrespect in street sparring, and it feels completely wrong. One clean shot sends his opponent to the pavement, and instead of celebrating, the winner calmly bows like he finished a karate grading. Bowing is a core part of traditional martial arts etiquette, a sign of respect seen in dojos worldwide and even at the Olympics, where karate made its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
