Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is makrooh tahreemi (greatly reprehensible) to bow for any creation even though it might be out of respect. You should explain to the relevant authorities that it is forbidden to bow in Islam. If they refuse your son leniency, you should some alternate classes for him. It will not be permissible for him to continue with his martial arts class.
