Show them your awards, have them talk to your friends, family and instructors. If they still don't believe you, just judo chop them and take their wallets.

Beware the shadows. are you threatening people? By the way I wouldn't believe you either if you felt a need to prove yourself. If you are truly what you say you are then you have nothing to prove. Also don't tell people to beware the shadows. There is no way you could find out where all these people are at. That actually sounds like something a little kid would say and not a Master.

No one believes you because of you answer to "What should I do to get ready for my black belt test?" Your answer was "Watch the Karate Kid a minimum of 3 times." I wouldn't believe you were a White Belt in Ninjitsu.

Don't worry about what other people think. If you are a master at Ninjitsu, and you know it, why do you care if other people believe you.

If that is true, then why do you feel the need to convince anyone? A true Martial Artist does not have to prove anything to anyone no matter what discipline he or she studies.
it seems to me that you're trying to prove something to yourself rather than others.
it's really no business of others to know you study martial arts, let alone the fact that you're at a master level of rank.
If they don't believe you, fine they don't have to; is it really important to have their approval that you spent the time and effort to learn Martial Arts in the first place?
Therefore you don't have to prove it to them either. So if I were you, I wouldn't worry about it.

ninjitsu has become an equal with religion. too many quacks, freaks, and scammers that no one will believe it can be true.
best to do as stated above, and forget about trying to prove yourself.
if you are what you say, be happy that you are.
forget the crowds, as too many con men like Ashida Kim have ruined any credibility that ninjitsu may have had.

If you were a true master of the bujinkan, you wouldn't be advertising. If you knew anything about ninjas, you would know that they are the sneakiest most secretive people around.

Why is it necessary to convince anyone? The only one who really needs to know is you. Anyone else that needs to be convinced is obviously not a very nice person. Why would they need to question you? I wouldn't worry about what someone else thinks.

If you are a master than you should have enough self-confidence that you don't worry about what others believe.
In my traditional style we do not speak of rank, it does not matter.
It is only used to organize the school.
Not speaking of rank helps you avoid "ego situations".

So you think your self a bad ***? Any one here could take you (smallest dogs bark the loudest). One doesn't label them selves master. You will get your *** handed too you one day by a yuppie and then you will realize how little you know.

By your statement alone you have labeled yourself a fraud . Shinobi do not seek attention , and masters have no use for titles .
If you are making a joke...try harder . If you actually consider yourself ninja , you are not a master . If you think your comment about "shadows" is scary , grow up .
