Osu!
As always, hindsight is 20-20. When I was younger, humor and Karate seemed polar opposites, and I reached the point of not talking about training at all, rather than have to deal with some of the comments from the unwashed masses.
Then I made two big changes. Firstly, I realized that life is pretty silly at the best of times, and it's too much effort to worry about it all the time. Secondly, I got better friends. Negative people are a waste of time and energy.
If you're getting some good natured ribbing, that's normal. If they are behaving in a way that is inappropriate, then your choice is simple.
Osu!
