  Generally speaking the guideline for bowing is that the more senior the person to whom you are bowing, both in age and position, the deeper the bow. Therefore for example, if a year old bows to a 40 year old then the bow ought to be lower than if the 40 year old bowed towards the 14 year old. Also a green belt must bow lower to your brown belt than a belt would bow into a green belt.
  
  The grey area comes if you have a year old black belt and a 40 year old beginner. Who should bend the bottom? Well hopefully common sense will prevail and both parties will realize that the person is still the exceptional person when it comes to experience and therefore must still be treated with respect. However it would also be right for the adult in question to recognize the achievement and power and bend a bit less than normal to show his respect.
  
  until we have direct experience living in Japan for many years, as far as we Westerners are concerned, the difficulties of the social nuances regarding the bow in Japan are far too involved for us showing any real competency.
