Since school days, I have trained in Karate (Gojukan of Hanshi Gogen Yamaguchi) and have a black belt in it. But I am developing interest in Muay Thai nowadays.

I am still fairly young (22) and I was thinking about practising Kyokushin Kai Karate, but you have
to bow for example to the teacher and to your opponent, within Japanese culture it's not a form
of worship or something but merely as respect or a sign of humbleness.

Is that permissible within the Sharia if the intention of an action is not wrong?
How did you deal with that?
