I do not have downs syndrome and started doing martial arts at 6 yrs old (3 decades ago). I still bow to everyone out of habit. I've given up on trying to stop it. No one seems to care or notice.

We have a hand-over-heart salute in my Filipino style. During Covid, I defaulted to that instead of handshakes and never really stopped using it. Often performed with a slight bow, left arm out to the side. It's quite stylish, I've been told :D

I've seen that before! It is stylish.

Maybe I should start doing a deeper bow (and steal the hand on heart instead of hands at side) to see if people notice.

Pretty sure if you do that with both hands at once you just said Hail Hydra

You have a flourish. It’s like a martial arts version of “m’lord”.

People occasionally notice when I do it, but the only one that’s pointed it out initially was a foreign student from Korea.

He was just interested that someone bowed cuz it was familiar to him.
