i bow to my training partner. i have heard the term respect more than a few times in this thread but often that is a parrot answer. so why bow really? for me i am bowing in respect for my partner with a feeling of thanks for the fact that martial arts is hard, people get injured and hurt and my partner is willing to put his body and well being at risk for me to have the opportunity to learn. sometimes a simple class just "hurts" to get though we should be thankful that someone is willing make that sacrifice of their body for my benefit.Or if there were other reasons for the bow.
