What is the ruling on the game of Karate?

Karate is a martial art for self-defense using bare hands, and it has physical, psychological, and mental benefits. Among the aspects that align with Sharia are the modest dress that covers the awrah (private parts) and the prevention of harmful blows. However, it permits striking the face and contains religious rituals such as bowing, which resembles prostration (ruku), and silent and concentration training derived from Buddhist rites. The sport can be practiced while avoiding these transgressions.
