Alot of the martial arts have religous cult overtones. Most martial arts have their origins in religous cults. It keeps alot of people from practising martial arts and it has nothing to do with learning a sport or self defense method.
Organized judo is a prime example They want you to bow to the mat which is an inanimate object and they also have you bow to
a picture of Judo's founder Jiguro Kano (who is dead) which is a graven image plus bowing to the officials and your opponent.And they begin and end the contests with mass bowing ceromonies!
