Clark knows that a slap from him could kill, which is why he controls himself and doesn't hit that hard.
Nearly ever version of Superman I've ever seen has shown, and mentioned, that he holds back his strength almost all the time, he has to be able to operate as Clark Kent without destroying everything.
Superman defending a criminal, repentant or otherwise, from an enraged martial artist with anger management issues is exactly what I'd expect to be honest.
